With the arrival of Server 2008 R2 the range of choices an IT pro has for delivering an application to users desktops is quite bewildering. In this video we look at the new Remote-Desktop - how it it builds on the technologies we have had, but also how new possibilities to deliver a virtual desktop infrastucture are opened up by the combination of Hyper-V and the new connection broker

Zane Adam: thoughts from the top on Virtualization [Zane Adam: thoughts from the top on Virtualization]

Zane’s job title is “Senior director, Virtualization” , so I expected him to be an interesting chap and I wasn’t disappointed. This interview was recorded on his recent visit to London, when he was suffering from such a lack of sleep that he would have been within his rights to call the whole thing off. Not a bit of it... we had what I thought was a great talk - the video attached needed very little in the way of editing, even if it lacks a little in recording quality.

Did you think that VHD files were only for Virtualization ? In this screen cast you can see the different ways that Windows 7 / Server 2008 R2 can use VHD files, this will show different ways that we can configure boot from VHD, how we can work with VHD files from the command line and GUI, and even how you can access the files in a full image backup VHD file.

I caught up with Jeffrey Snover at Tech-ed IT forum in Barcelona. Some of the things we covered were the Powershell community, where Powershell is going with the CTP of version 2 just announced, and why Microsoft evangelists need 2 tries to record an interview.
