Managed Services Chatter at Microsoft Partner Conference by Joe Panettieri
Hello everyone… Check out this interesting artical by Joe Panettieri regarding Microsoft’s position with “Managed Services”.
Microsoft is in transition. And so is the Microsoft channel partner community. At Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC10), there’s noticeably more managed services chatter this year compared to the 2009 conference. But are MSPs really here in full force? And is Microsoft fulfilling their needs? Here are some perspectives from Day 2 at the conference.
As expected, Cloud Computing has dominated most conversations here, and CEO Steve Ballmer’s keynote was all about Microsoft’s cloud strategy. But still, cloud computing and managed services are close cousins. And there’s plenty of managed services chatter at the event.

Apple’s New Magic Trackpad
Why should notebooks have all the fun?
Desktop users, your time has come. The new Magic Trackpad is the first Multi-Touch trackpad designed to work with your Mac desktop computer. It uses the same Multi-Touch technology you love on the MacBook Pro. And it supports a full set of gestures, giving you a whole new way to control and interact with what’s on your screen. Swiping through pages online feels just like flipping through pages in a book or magazine. And inertial scrolling makes moving up and down a page more natural than ever. Magic Trackpad connects to your Mac via Bluetooth wireless technology. Use it in place of a mouse or in conjunction with one on any Mac computer — even a notebook.

This Week in Cloud Computing
I’m a fan of Jason Calacanis and in his new venture “thisweekin.com” features a subject matter near and dear to me… “This Week in Cloud Computing” hosted by Amanda Coolong and Mark Jeffrey. This Week in Cloud Computing attempts to be an informative weekly series all about the hot new trend towards abstracting and virtualizing computing resources… and although I find the hosts antics a bit hard to take, the content is fairly informative and worth a listen. In my opinion the hosts singing has to stop. It doesn’t fit the subject and cheapens the show. But as mentioned, there is some good information and is still worth a try.
This Week In Cloud Computing airs LIVE Wednesdays at 3pm PST/ 6pm EST at http://thisweekin.com/thisweekin-cloud-computing/ or you can also subscribe on iTunes.
