| Member Quotes |
| Raymond Starkey |
| Chips, pizza and serviettes - and a free drink from Microsoft. What more could you want? |
| Conan Ablewhite |
| Interesting to hear about developments from an IT pro perspective; hearing about the upcoming network access protection in Server 2008 and how that could affect network-aware apps will no doubt pay dividends in the future. Excellent speakers, top notch nosh and an open tab at the bar - what more is there to say? :) |
| Ralph Manley |
| It was difficult to understand some of the kool features Alun was describing as many are on the outer edges of knowledge & understanding. Not an easy subject to do, to a mainly developer audiance. Also many features were for enterprise size organisations. I deal with mainly small to small-med organisations. Maybe a better angle would have been to have 3 made-up companies of different sizes and cover how server 2008 would effect them into the future whan they change/grow/want to do more. Delivery & keeping everyone's attention was, as always, top notch!! :) |
| James Coulter |
| It was great to hear a presentation from the it pros for a change. Though I'm not heavily involved with windows server or sql server, I could appreciate how the new features could affect me as a developer and also appreciate some of the corporate benefits. Great swag and food as well. |
| Mark Hone |
| Well, I'm biased, but I would have liked more time on the new developer features but still an engaging presentation. Again, good presenter.

| David Tims |
| It was good to hear a talk on non-dev stuff and Alun's passionate and enthusistic style actually made it understandable and interesting. |
