  • Squeaky lobster’s at MEC: Is this the start of the excitement?

    This coming week is all about the relaunched, revamped, and hopefully not-a-warmed-over-copy-of-Teched Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC). I flew from Dublin to Orlando yesterday, enjoying a reasonable service from Aer Lingus on a flight that must have set a new record for the number of kiddie buggies that it carried. Speaking…

  • I miss the Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC)!

    Update March 6, 2012: Well, the lobbying has succeeded and Microsoft has announced that they are bringing back MEC. You can get more information from MECisBack.com or read my take on the new MEC on WindowsITPro.com. ———- I first attended the late lamented Microsoft Exchange Conference (MEC) in Austin, TX…
