TechEd 09 Keynote Recap

It took less than 30 seconds for them to mention the economy. There are over 7000 people at Tech Ed 09, despite the bad economy and the swine flu!

2. When do you run in the data center vs. in the cloud.

Windows 7 cool features include the awesome new problem step recorder. This will be a life saver for us developers! The windows snap and shake. Since I haven't played with this feature, I'm not sure if I will like it or not, but you can basically shake a window and it will snap into place. Also Windows 7 will include virtualization.

Server 2008 will run on 64 bit only. It has remote administration features, an active directory undelete option, and can search using OCR technology, so it can find words on images.
