What will their "trusted computing" actually be/do in the future, and what plans do they have for integration with open source systems such as Linux.

[russdev]

ie would you want a talk on sql for example, would you want a talk on VB.NET, maybe exchnage what subjects..

 

take into account this speakers wont be just anybody now it should be obvious were i am coming from but until got it all down on papaer cant saying much more.

Oh, well I'm not that interested in their actual products/services, I guess I should leave that to the Microsofties Though I can imagine a lot of us want to know about the so-called "Learning Gateway" of theirs.

it wont be sales pitch

 

so for example can be mundane to the something bit more so could you want advance tips and hint for exchange, maybe guide to securing up iis..., guide to doing ris if it is microsoft connected can prob do talk on it

 

trust me this is good thing and not sales pitch

Definately Vista, I think. No, seriously

 

I feel it's going to be a (potential) evil that we're not going to be able to avoid and it'd be good to see and hear about it 'from the horses mouth' so to speak rather than the hype and misinformation prevalent online and in the press.

 

I know a lot of people have a downer on Vista already, but personally I don't feel well enough informed to make that judgement.

 

It would also be interesting to hear about what's going to be new in Office 12

How about using IPSec for quarantine segments.

 

I read somewhere that at Microsoft they they had so that you couldn't conenct any device to the network unless it had latests and OS updates. Apprently this was all automatic.

[russdev]

on serious not remeber we got Nick from Microsoft doing talk on vista at conference

 

so maybe something like "preparing the vista"

 

maybe something on office 12 and major differences etc

 

what else

A lot of posts ask for info on RIS and MSIs - so maybe a combined lecture on how to do and hints & tips, may also include other uses for GPOs other than the obvious and basic?

 

Probably not as technical as some would like but not all school technicians have years of experience.

 

just a thought

[russdev]

no sounds good

 

want to try and pick few subjects basicly a day thing but plan is two run it twice as we expect lot of people wanting to come when we reveal the details...

I'll second that. That would be excellent.

Absolutely. Well said!

 

I'm intrigued - we've not got Bill Gates coming to talk to us have we?!!

 

Sounds exciting though!
