Attending TechEd 2009 As A Shadow Warrior For Peace, Love, and Fairness

I’m here at TechEd 2009 and I’m not here as a Microsoft lover. I’m here as a shadow warrior to speak about the cause of technology for the people and not the machine. Sure, I’m now sounding like a complete loon, but all’s fair in love and war, isn’t it. As all of my regular readers know, I’m no fan of Microsoft, but I do have an open policy and I will share that with you now:

Microsoft is not the only computer software company on the planet. There are millions of companies out there making all kinds of wicked software for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and hundreds of other operating systems. The only operating system anyone should ever use is the one they like. I will always try to push people to use Mac OS X because I believe its a superior OS, but I won’t push so hard as to make it unpleasant.

So, I’m here at TechEd 2009 in Los Angeles to make a point. I’m going to speak to some people and take in some sessions to pass on the real spin on what’s going on in the nerdish world of Microsoftians everywhere. TechEd is a big show and there are a load of people here. There should be something interesting to dig up somewhere!
