Petra ...the lost City

CIMG2932 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 :-)

The Land of Beautiful horses

This is the original meaning of the of the word Cappadoccia. I am currently in an offsite with my team in this wonderful region. It's one of those places on earth where you feel that all the energies converge....it's beautiful, it's history due to it's strategic location on the silk road has been influenced by different civilisations and cultures.
If you are looking for a special place for your next vacation, you should add it on your list.

I am back on the Blog!!

After several months of absence, I've decided to get back in the blogosphere. I've been quite busy managing my relocation to Dubai (I have a lot of experience to share about this !!...Specially the driving license stuff J ) It's a city full of surprises, but everything has landed smoothly for me. The picture below shows a view from my balcony with a view on the Golf of the Emirates…I watched Tiger Woods win the Desert classic last week. So watch this space for some more news about Dubai….and Microsoft Office SharePoint server!!

Tafiti....Doing research in swahili

The Windows Live team has released a new search service code-named Tafiti...which means "Doing Reasearch" in Swahili. This new service combines the power of Live Search and Silverlight. The result is quite impressive with various interactive views and filters. Filtering on books provides you the possibility of browsing through the book (provided it is not copyrighted). You also get a "shelf", which is a area on the page where you can drag and drop search results for future use.  Check it out at:
