Blogging from Microsoft - Experience

Boy!! you got to believe this i'm blogging from Microsoft building in blore from Deepak's cubicle .

Ok!! jus an update of the day(s).

Yday was asusual as promised (as usual -= behind schedule) and we had few sessions on lots of things (ofcours!! one of them was technical by Deepak on longhorn). We had visited the Microsoft new building thats coming up in Blore. This is a wonderful place. IBM is next to it (wondering!! if Microsoft mgmt & IBM Mgmt) Meet on the corridors of the connecting bridge. I remembered the Petronas towers in Malaysia.

Ok!! apart from that we went to a far-off location from blore called Wonder valley It is a wonder valley coz i never could connect to my Friend (arre!! its a girl) inspite of me being in blore. Anyway to say it all i would require one hour..

Well!! yday nite was hardcore (not that hardcore) fun! none in the tents nearby slept we were chatting until 2 am in the morn and whenever we felt we're tired and want to lie down someone would crack some joks nd make it a lively session.

Today morn was more fun!!. We did lots of balancing act (load balancing) on hi-wires and on rock climbing (does climbing ever say its climbing up , its rappling - climbing down) and another one called dynamic obstacles . thats where i felt down , and how its all managed to make my body get pained and made myself unavailable to building a raft.

Ok!! more on longhorn on monday ;) ...

Linux users worry about desktop products' fate

READ HERE

This mail has been sent by our MVP Lead Deepak .

“While SuSE's high-end server products retail for $450 or more, SuSE 9 Professional--which includes publicly available Linux server packages--only costs $80”. Ok I know that the free in GNU is not “free” as in commercial aspects of things but its still worth a mention because it’s a trumpet that is blown quite often at least here in India..
