First of all HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone.

Well the new year is upon us all and for me I got back to the daily grind 5 days ago, Grrr. What awaited me on my return was 96 Desktop Computers to unpack and pack up the old ones ready to return !!! I hate this time of year. We are now heading for a number of 40 degree day here in Melbourne so I will be sweating it out this week. I hope you all had a good break (if you got one!!), I sure enjoyed my couple of weeks that I spent camping in Merimbula. My kids and wife had a great time, it was great to get away from the computer screen for a couple of weeks that is for sure.

I have a couple of new servers arriving in a week or so, so I will be stepping up my migration of Physical Servers to Virtual ones using Hyper-V. I will be letting you know how that goes and how I think the best way of going about this is. I would be interested to know how others have gone about this and their thoughts on Hyper-V.

There will be quite a few posts coming on Virtualization and the like as this is an area that I am moving toward and stacks of people in our industry are certainly looking at.
