Oh, if you’re running Windows 8, drop by the Windows Store and grab your free copy of Posterpedia. Posterpedia is a Windows 8 app that my colleague, Brain Lich, and I created. It allows you to carry all Microsoft posters around with you on your Windows 8 tablet or Windows 8 PC and links you with the latest TechNet content. The new version will be available soon and is updated with a lot of new content!

So what's new here this time around? Several posters actually. These posters provide a visual reference for understanding key private cloud storage and virtualization technologies in Windows Server 2012 R2. They focus on understanding storage architecture, virtual hard disks, cluster shared volumes, scale-out file servers, storage spaces, data deduplication, Hyper-V failover clustering, and virtual hard disk sharing.

You can get your free copy of the poster and mini-posters here:

Enjoy….and keep the feedback coming. I read every email and try to answer every email if possible. 

I’ve introduced some new functionality for this poster. You can download each component of the poster separately and just print the pieces you need. In addition, each piece has a Microsoft Tag, so you can use your smart phone to scan and connect directly to the latest Tech Net content.

Brian and I have shipped Server Posterpedia V2 to the Windows Store. If you have already installed Posterpedia, it will notify you of the update. 

In case your wondering, here is what we included in V2...

• Semantic zoom that enables easy navigation of the different groups (new).
• A full-screen viewing mode without the chrome and hotspots (new).
• The ability to share a link to a poster through email  (new).
• App bar buttons specific to each poster.
• Technical content for Hyper-V, Active Directory, Remote Desktop Services, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, Exchange Server
  2010, Exchange Server 2007, SharePoint Server 2010, Windows Azure, SQL Server, Lync Server 2010, and Office 2013.

 It’s updated frequently with new content.

 For those running Windows 8, you can get the app from the Windows Store:

 If you are not running Windows 8, you can check out the video I made - it shows you the new features of Server Posterpedia V2.

 Enjoy...feedback welcome. 
 

I had a few emails from folks asking how they can pinch and zoom the posters in the Server Posterpedia app if they don't have a touch screen. No problems, Windows 8 is designed for all experiences. Simply use "Control Key + Mouse Scroll Wheel". Works great. :)

I know a lot of you collect my posters, so here is a nice new way to carry them around with you, especially on your Windows 8 tablets when they are released next month.

Many of you saw this app at TechEd NA and TechEd Europe and asked "When can I get it?"

So, I'm pleased to announce its available. If you’re running Windows 8, you can get it from the Windows
Store here:

https://aka.ms/sposterpedia

Oh, it is also free. There is a video here if you want to see it in action:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5tWAPWJ720

Think, poster-as-table-of-contents-for-technology-information. Think "Minority Report". Think "the presentation IS the information."

Try it, I'm sure you will like it. It is awesome, especially on a touch-screen.

Tell your friends, leave feedback. Big special thanks to Brian Lich and Tony Soper, just some of the best work collegues ever.
