Last week before I made the trek down here to Vegas, I was walking through building 44 on my way back from a meeting and I saw this conference room decked out with a ton of laptops on the table.  Normally that's not a strange sight as most meetings look like that, but there were no people attached to them and Jeff Wettlaufer and Wally Mead were in the room.  Jeff, Wally and the rest of the team were building a VERY COOL keynote demo for the MMS 2009 conference demonstrating migration of 20 laptop computers from XP SP3 to Windows 7 over WIRELESS!  Yes I said WIRELESS!  Check out the video and stay tuned for a second part shot from backstage here in Las Vegas.

This is fasinating...

So I guess the big quesiton is? How did it go in the keynote?
It rocked.  All went really well.  The demo went smoothly and was successful across all the laptops in the audience.  It was really cool being on stage with Brad, firing the vPro Power On Command and seeing them fire up.  THANK YOU to Matt at Intel for all the vPro support, and to my good friend John our OSD PM who helped shaped the build and migration. These guys were rock stars!
It was a lot of fun!

WOW this is really cool stuff and good to see the prep that goes into these things - off to watch the Keynote demo video now Wink

Saw Jeff at Tech Ed 2009 in LA. Great session! Now just have to get SP2 and work with it! Is there any specific information on the wireless configuration? Haven't found any documentation on it yet.

Hey Robert!  Great to see you at TE '09.  I think you are referring to the vPro documentation for the Wireless config.  We will fully document this in our Technet Documentation library here once SP2 releases, and also there is some more on the Intel vPro site here

Take care!

I cannot WAIT for Windows 7! I wonder if the transition from Vista to 7 will be more seamless than the transition from XP to Vista... From what I've heard, though, they've really worked out a lot of the kinks. Count me as a believer!

A good backup is to have the presentation recorded earlier so people can watch that or you can send it out if others were having issues watching the presentation.
