A big thank you to everyone that made it to the COISUG event this past week with Microsoft. The event was a big success for COISUG and the Tech Industry of Central Oregon! Come on, how can you go wrong with tater-tots, pizza, and sodas — and over $1000 worth of giveaways.

Chris Avis (Microsoft) dropped by and gave a great presentation on Windows Server 2008 and HyperV including a brief look into Vista SP1 (specifically improvements in the TCP/IP stack – file transfer speeds) and Windows Mojave. Chris touched on sustainable IT (Green IT) and then rolled into an extensive hands-on q/a session on 2008 and HyperV. Feature by feature Microsft has a strong virtualization package and strategy – it is woth checking out. Windows Vista SP1 is definitely worth deploying, but you might want to just move straight into Mojave.

Did you see the great article in the Bend Bulletin about COISUG and the Central Oregon Tech Industry? Check it out here. There are a lot of tech professionals in Central Oregon and businesses are starting to notice. Chek out and support the other groups in the area.
