Hello everyone, I already saw frontpage news about Microsoft teched and Neowin will be covering, But the news poster failed to mention about TechED will be going around worldwide.

I suggest, whoever on neowin is planning to attending in their cities should discuss here , take advantage for group signup concessions and have a blast :)

I will be attending the Mumbai's event http://www.techmela.com/technology.htm location is at Marriott Hotel (Fantastic place microsoft picked up :) ). So if you planning to go, lets signup together, not all of my friends can attend this , cause they either cant take off from work or not interested, one is MVP but he has done everything that will be going in Labs so he is not interested ( bummer).

I'm off to Barcelona this year.

But I'd also like to see it come to the UK (well my firms paying so I don't mind that much ;))

Fantastic. your company is good. I think there has to be some spanish neowiners and you go in as group :) give shoutout here any spanish ppl.

going in group works better cause you can share stuff like cd's , presentations , talk about labs in breaks and stuff .

I read lots of stuff about tech ed usa etc but I did not read what people took away from them, maybe I did not read any proper blogs etc.

The One I attended in mumbai was hellaof-fun.

Some keywords that I will be thinking of this year is Orcas (visual studio 2008), Veridian (Windows server 2008), Windows System Center for small business (adds MOM and MOF), Microsoft Windows Virtual Server deployment and strategy to manage/scale and tight integration of .vhd files, commandline exploring of .vhd disk without mounting etc., poweershell. Windows core server 2008 (kinda softcore :p). Terminal services 2008 and publishing Full apps to client giving look-and-feel of local app. Windows Softgrid (very diff from terminal services) providing isolated app . MS SQL 2005 ,deployment-monitoring-troubleshooting tempdb stuff.

So thats all for me to check on this year :) the fun thing is , all can be downloaded to try and many things are free too. I think I can push my company to provide some solutions than just windows reseller servers .. lets see.

and speaking of neowin, I don't think there is any proper crowd at all who are working in this field just pre-teen-fanboies who are beta junkies (i was going to say something else than junkies but that would had been too-rude) , I was expecting good amount of responses here . anyway.

    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
    • It's growing on me, however, your right, it make better usability sense if the tabs were bellow the address bar.
    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
    • I don't believe them that anyone using threads, at least meaningfully. It's the same thing for Facebook, people just don't engage with Meta platforms like they are thinking. This isn't 2006.
