Loren Goodman, CTO of my company, presented an excellent topic on Microsoft TechEd conference Getting to the Handshake: Leveraging Business Rule Technology through Architecture, Design and Practice which can  viewed and downloaded at http://www.msteched.com/2010/NorthAmerica/ARC301. It highlights the growing interest in this area in the community since people are into rules more and more as they redesigning existing solutions and engineering new ones and the understanding of the flexibility in the first place is a requirement which is one of the core one. You can find more on the current state of the Rule Engines on my company's site at http://www.inrule.com

The Virtualization Launch

September 19, 2008 at 1:31 AMalex

Register for a getVIRTUALnow event in your area and find out how Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V, Microsoft System Center - including Virtual Machine Manager 2008 - and Microsoft Desktop and Application Virtualization can help you virtualize from the data center to the desktop.

The agenda looks pretty cool, which includes Hyper-V introduction, application assesment and planning toolkit, and you supposed to get home a software package. The only drawback, even though it is a roadshow, you'd have to throw $149 to get into it.
