No posts lately because I’ve been at Brainshare. But here’s my recap: best giveaway of show: The case stickers that replace your Windows sticker. Surprise hit: we only printed a couple thousand, but people went apeshit for them and we’ve had to resort to rationing. I should note that they say it’s “Optional” to remove your Windows sticker because apparently removing the “Made for Windows” sticker can invalidate your warranty.
Most common question of show: will you help me with my wireless card? Most wireless cards are supported. Many are not supported. This is unfortunate.
Second most common question: When can I get a Novell Netware Client for Linux? A: Closed beta now, open beta early summer, release late summer. Sorry for the delay, but they insisted on testing it before release.
Best lifesaving participant: Brian Coons from IS&T. Not only did he save my butt on numerous customer questions, but he seems to have galvanized all the developers and product managers to implement a good plan for wireless support. Why this man isn’t in charge, I do not know. He’s apparently also a wonderful father. People like him make me jealous.
Highest-calorie meal: The Melting Pot. Four courses, three fondue and one salad. Yeah, they throw in a salad. Whoo. It’s still cheese, oil, and chocolate for the better part of two hours. I walked back to the hotel slowly.
