It is that time of the year, snow is starting to fall, the holiday season is coming and so are all the year end reviews. We feature new releases in our Flash all the time so I thought why not have a TechNet Flash year in review? It has been a busy year, lots of new technologies released and announced so let’s get started with my top ten list of favorite releases and why...
1.
Hyper-V Server R2
— I love virtualization and Hyper-V R2
2.
Windows 7
— being the client track lead for TechDays I might be biased
3.
SCVMM 2008 R2
— if you are using virtualization, you should be using SCVMM
4.
Visual Studio Express
— Want to dabble with some development, these free versions are great
5.
XP Mode
— with Virtual PC 7 and XP Mode app compat issues are yesterday’s news
6.
Windows Server 2008 R2
— too many improvements to list
7.
Windows Azure
— Yes there is value to IT Pros!
8.
Exchange Server 2010
— from high availability to improved OWA, a worthy upgrade
9.
BPOS
— Hosted SharePoint, Exchange, Communicator for everyone
10.
Web Platform Installer
— a great tool to simplify installing web apps
