I recently had the opportunity to speak at Tampa Code Camp 2009. This was a great event with a wide range of topics and approximately 400 attendees

So we are making the upgrade from Windows SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 this week. Lots of things need to change and the change I hate most is leaving behind my BlackBerry Curve. I have grown to love this phone, it works, it is fast and I can blind-type a message at remarkable speed. But BlackBerry lost the plot with their Professional Software package.

What do you do when you realize that someone you have a longstanding relationship with has changed? They seem to have developed different goals then you and they are needier... much needier then they used to be. Well, if you are like me you spend more time hanging around with their cooler younger brother and some of his friends.
