It is all about Architecture!

Before you install Microsoft Office 2010 Beta deinstall Office Live Addin 1.4! If you don't do it, you will not be able to deinstall it after you upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2010 Beta. If you try to deinstall it after upgrading, the deinstall will fail with a message "You can't deinstall Live Addin because you have the wrong Office version." I hope Microsoft comes up with a solution or I have a messy task ahead, worst case a clean Win7 installation.

On January 16, 2010, the ArcSig User group met at Global Response for the local Speaker Ideal competition. Alex Koval won the competition with an excellent presentation making the case for Microsoft Azure, and is now competing in the second round at the South Florida Code Camp on 02/27/2010.

Great Job Alex! It was fun! Thanks to the Shooster family for hosting us and to Jeff for Pizza and soft drinks!
