I received an email yesterday requesting that I post something new in this blog. So, here goes an attempt to put something of interest here on a more regular basis.

Since my last post (WSOP2007...I busted out of the tourney in just under four hours...still a bit of scar tissue on that one), things have moved in several directions for me. Shipping Windows Server 2008 earlier this year was one of those things that I'll remember forever as a "life achievement". In my mind it's the best Server operating system ever shipped and the amount of testing that went into it was unparalleled in the history of Windows Server. After shipping WS08, I changed jobs and moved from the Windows Server Build Team to the Windows Build Engineering Program Management team. While this may not sound like different things, those outside of MS could look at it as analogous to a move from driving a car to a position where you plan how we should design the next engine for that car. Changing to Program Management is going to be a good move for me longterm (I think) and it's pretty cool to get back to learning a whole new discipline.
