Dear Colleague
This FE update may be of interest and includes our MS Technology day taking
place on 15th June at their offices in Reading.
We are finalising the agenda and this may include the following subject to
availability of speakers.
Windows 2003 R2 and Longhorn
SharePoint (now and futures..)
Exchange 2003 and futures or Security (possible)
Office 2007
Windows Vista
The timings are yet to be confirmed but in view of the England match K.O.
5.00 p.m. we aim to finish early enough to allow for travel time.
I would be very grateful for those who are considering attending if you
could either book online or email me to register your interest as we would
like to ascertain how many places are required.
We may start at 10.00 and finish at 2.00 and your feedback on this and the
proposed content is also welcome. We could run the event until a later
time subject to demand.
