Code monkeys and support jocks

By on

Did you all enjoy the TechEd conference up at the Gold Coast? Did you learn anything that will help you sell more kit? Lots of new servers coming out of Microsoft with the biggie - Windows Server 2008 - amazingly due in ... 2008. Smart move to name the products by the year they're released and it helps sell upgrades too.
Sir is still using Server 2003? Does Sir realise that's five years old? Does Sir drive a five year old car? OK, so you best check if the old tightwad is still driving the old banger before you pull that sales stunt in real life.
Hey, did you all notice the groovy keynote speech where the guy said he animated the Happy Feet movie on old Windows NT boxes? What a hoot! Turns out he had no idea that the abck room boys had upgraded to Linux and Windows 2000 yonks ago! You'd think somebody at Microsoft would have noticed they'd registered an upgrade. Hah hah! Even Rabid is using Windows Server 2003. Yah, we know, but our car is even older.
