And speaking of up an coming stuff, check out the Microsoft Canada Events page. There's a few new things coming here.
For the Vancouver area there are two TechNet sessions next week:
Sep 26, 2005 - Vancouver IT Pro User Group Meeting: Virtual Server
Sep 27, 2005 - Microsoft TechNet Innovations Tour 2005 - Making IT Happen
I'll be at the Virtual Server event I think, but probably won't be able to make the Innovations tour, which looks really fun as well... Next time.
