I've actually started writing this post on the first day after tech-ed was finished. However, life, apparently, do happen while you're busy making plans, and I didn't get to finish it till now. Projects with urgent dead-lines, clients who needs urgent consult, and so on and so forth. I'm quite aware of the fact that dose are mostly excuses... So, how was it in Tech-ED? I think many good people wrote about the logistics, the party, the lectures, etc. I don't think I can top that...

This year's tech-ed is followed by the lunch of Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and the already lunched Visual Studio 2008. 13:00, Danny Yamin, Microsoft's CEO is on stage...
It is almost 9 AM now, and I'm at "Sde Dov" airport, waiting for boarding to begin. The field is all filled with "computer geeks" as my princess like to call us all. The atmosphere is great. Sort of a buzz in the air. That's it, boarding started. Here we go. See you in Eilat. UPDATE: I've posted it around noon, since it appears that I've closed the lead on my laptop before the post was sent.
