Chrome OS....The browser is the OS

Like many, I've watched the Chrome OS announcement (Including the demo)....I'm still trying to figue out why I wold buy a netbook with Chrome OS, given that I would still need a full featured PC for the other stuff I need to do (Serious editing, analysis of data, presentsations ...etc.). To day with my cheap netbook running Windows 7, i can do everything the Chrome OS does and much more !...and about boot time, have you experienced the speed at which a Win 7 PC resumes from sleep mode.( I do not remember the last time I rebooted my PC).....I'm still to be convinced.

Bing !...Google here we come

In my previous post, I shared with you my excitement about Google Wave which has the potential to be a game changer in the web communications and collaboration space....Well, this week is rich in announcements and Microsoft is also decided to change the game with Bing. Bing will change your search experience on the web...in a positive way.

Petra ...the lost City

Being based out of Dubai, gives me the opportunity to visit neighboring countries...which would have seemed inaccessible from my home island, Mauritius. I was recently in Jordan where I was attending a company meeting ....This a fantastic country and you should add it to your list, if you're looking for your next vacation destination. The meeting was held in a hotel near the dead sea....What an experience, floating on this salty lake at 400 m below sea level !!

I also had the opportunity of visiting the lost city of Petra http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petra, those of you who are Indiana Jones fans will recognize the place :-)

It was a humbling experience...Humanity is capable of such great things.

MOSS Conference MEA....Mission Accomplished

What a week !!...After a successful 2 days SharePoint Conference in Dubai, I flew to Istanbul to do a repeat. What an experience !!...SharePoint is such an amazing product. More than a year after it's release, this product still generates such an excitement, drawing record crowds for a non-free event (Which is unusual for Microsoft in this region). The feedback I have from customers and partners attending the two events is overwhlemingly positive. My colleagues from the product team, from Redmond, MVPs and from the local team have done a great job showing the large number of areas where SharePoint can help in the enterprise.

I've already been asked about when will the next edition occur :-)
