I am spending today and the entire weekend at the IT Pro 2008 conference being held ironically in my hometown of New Orleans. Jeff Middleton, a guru of Small Business Server, has held this conference once before last year and it proved to be so well received that he organized a second one over the course of three days. For IT professionals who have never been to New Orleans, it's a great way to learn about best practices and to experience demonstrations of new products intended to work closely with Windows Server 2008 and the upcoming release of Windows Small Business Server 2008 expected in the fall. This is the real deal and is not a Microsoft rollout of prepared propaganda that glosses over problems inherent with operating systems. It is a conference of people who work in the field on a daily basis and who are working with clients as business solution providers. If it works, they know about it. If it doesn't, they let everyone know too. Frankly, I love the amount of IT expertise being expressed in this conference by the speakers and the attendees. More on this conference later. Right now, we have to conduct a parade to Bourbon Street!
