Poor old Darren Strange, who is the Microsoft UK Product Manager for Office 2007, has recounted the ‘crash & burn’ he had at the recent Technet Nottingham event I was at. Microsoft then go and double the pain because they always insist on feedback and obviously people gave it! He’s right about the lack of humour of the audience. Is this what happens when you work in the Enterprise environment? Maybe all those sleepless nights of battling with AD and Group Policy just suck the life out of you. Maybe they need to chill out and play with a few SBS boxes and relax in a warm glowy feeling of life being so easy and care free! It’s typical the East Midlands had to be the most lifeless audience of the tour so far! Brave of Darren to recount his horror story! These things happen!

Poor old Darren. I was at the event too.
I actually spotted you….During the mad rush for the lunch line i decided to plonk myself on the floor (since there were no chairs) and you were stood right in front of me chatting to someone. I saw the name badge and thought “i know that name”…was only when i was updating my RSS feed list that i realised!

Yeah, there was a distinct lack of places to sit and have lunch. Obviously, we IT Pros aren’t worthy enough of chairs and tables!
