Happy New Job...er...Year!
What?
Yes, the rumors* you heard are true.
I've decided to usher in the year 2008, by leaving the group working on a major product named after this new year (i.e. Windows Server 2008) and join the Unified Communications team! Specifically, I am now a Senior (non-AARP member) Technical Product Manager focused on Exchange Server.
"Hey, what does a networking and security hack know about email servers?" you ask.
Great question.
But the good news is, I'm learning a lot in the few short days I've been in seat and expect to learn a heck of lot more in this role.
As such, I'll start shifting this blog to focus more on my new UC/Exchange world view, but fret not. I'll leave all those great (YMMV) posts on WS08 networking and network security stuff. I will also start filling you in a bit more on what it is I'm actually doing as I get ramped up from both the holiday break and the job transition.
All in all, this new role is a great opportunity for me to stretch my technical product management skills (that's mad skillz, or at least slightly ill tempered skillz) in a new technology space. I'm still loosely connected with the ol' Windows Server 2008 launch team gang, and hope to swing down to L.A. for the premier event in February. I've also made sure to seed little bits of my networking product management meddling in a few places that will soon come to light (in and around the launch window for WS08), so stay tuned for that!
Anyhow, happy 2008 to all of you!
I hope that those of you who have read my blog in the past for networking stuff (that's the official, technical description) will stick around and save yourself a good front row seat for all my UC and Exchange Server mumblings!
* If you did hear any rumors, that pretty neat!

Can you believe that I have not tended to my blog for nearly 8 months?  Wait. Don't answer that!
