It’s been a while since I last posted, so I thought I’d blog about a freebie from Microsoft as my triumphant return to the IT Humidor.
Coming up this month will be the launch of Office 2010, Visual Studio 2010, SQL Server 2008 R2, and SharePoint 2010. To kick things off, Microsoft is holding launch-events in various parts of the country. Be a part of the launch of Microsoft’s new products, (and take home free copies of the software,) by signing up for an event in your area. For those of you who can’t make it to a live event, there will also be a live keynote by Stephen Elop, President of Microsoft’s business division on the launch of the new software suites.
There are two paths for each event, IT Pro and Developer:
For IT Professionals, focuses more closely on Office 2010 and SharePoint 2010
For developers, focusing on Visual Studio 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
The events are free to sign up for, but space fills up fast.

I came across this blog the other day and I definitely felt the need to share. Keith Combs has put together a set of great videos on making Linux play nice on a Windows Server 2008 network by managing Linux workstations through AD.
Check out Keith’s blog for the full description of the following videos:

TechNet Plus, (download only, not the kind where they ship you DVDs,) from Microsoft usually runs $349 to sign up for a year, then $249 per year after that. A friend of mine shot me an email today for a $100 dicount on a subscription. I’m not sure if it’s part of a special event or it’s simply a discount code for the sake of signing up new customers, but it’s a great opportunity to save some money and pick up just about every piece of software Microsoft makes. Keep in mind, this not only includes the software that is out now, but any new software that’s eligible for TechNet, as well as updates to things like Office or Windows, (think Office 2010 and Windows 7). Sadly, developer-tools like Visual Studio are not included in TechNet since they are considered to be under the MSDN umbrella. This is good for a new subscription only, not renewals.
The subscription page can be found here.
