NOTE: This is the first information transplant from the now-deceased Funboard.
Thanks in a large part to MS offering Windows Mobile 6 free to OEMs & mobile operators for the purpose of creating upgrades for existing WM5 devices, there have been a slew of new upgrade announcements lately.

Folks are starting to respond to the Mobility survey I posted for NOLA conference attendees. Which is awesome!
Thanks to everyone who’s responded so far. If you haven’t responded yet, please do!
And if someone you know was at the conference, please remind them to fill out the survey. Gracias!
You can get to the survey by clicking…
Mobility Survey
Thanks for taking a minute to respond. The awesome feedback and responses I’m getting will be going directly to folks responsible for the Windows Mobile platform, BTW.

This weekend’s conference in New Orleans really seemed to go well for a lot of folks, both from the perspective of having fun and getting valuable info. And I’m glad, because the best way to get value out of any conference is when said conference is both fun, and eye-opening.
I was involved as a presenter in 2 sessions. The first was a panel discussion on data storage called Business Data Placement: The New Paradigms, which discussed both the current file system paradigms and the incomprehensibly slow march to SharePoint.
Honestly, we prolly should have just called it Why SharePoint Matters (to SMB)
I got to work with the ever-amazing Amy Babinchak, my MVP Summit roommate Kevin “The Human Alarm Clock” Weilbacher, Chuck Traywick, and our fantastic moderator Eriq Neale. That session really came together in some ways I don’t think any of us were fully aware would happen, which rocked.
The second session I did was called Why Mobile Matters (for SMB).
The response I received to that session has, quite literally, blown me away! I was nearly mobbed throughout the rest of the conference by folks eager to do more with Windows Mobile for the benefit of their customers and their own businesses.
So super big HUGE thanks to everyone (and there sure were a LOT of you) who attended my session on Mobility. Most heartening to me were all the people who said things like…
You’ve really given me a lot to think about.
I’ve already mapped out changes I’m planning to make when I get back.
I never felt like I could make it work, but you’ve given me a starting place to rethink that.
I even got a congratulatory text message from a certain outspoken Floridian not even in attendance who heard how smashingly it went.
Believe me, it’s a good good feeling knowing that so many folks got some much motivation toward rethinking and reshaping the way they are delivering services to their customers from hearing my session.

April’s Action Pack drop has just about the most new stuff I’ve ever seen from the mothership in any AP release.
Check this out…
Dynamics CRM 4.0 (all 3 of its users will be so happy)
Exchange Server 2007 Standard SP1
Accounting Professional 2008 (U.S. only. Everyone else can start their whining now)
OneCare Trial
System Center Data Protection Manager 2007 64–bit
Virtual Server 2005 R2 Standard SP1
Server 2008 Standard (32–bit and 64–bit)
Vista Ultimate with SP1 (Woohoo! Don’t spend that single copy all in one place!)
Terminal Server 2008 CALs
I know what I’ll be busy doing here at the Funcave when all this finally arrives. Rolling the server up to Server 2008 and making the move to Hyper-V.
Nothing like the sweet sweet candy that is a completely virtual environment.
