Following on from Part 2. Editorial note: These keynotes started around 8:45am and ran non-stop until 10:45am, but sometimes went over. As a result, it’s a lot of content to cover, hence why I’ve been splitting them out into separate articles. By the time we returned to the MTCC, it […]

Following on from Part 1 I left off just after the first vision keynote on the first day of the conference. After the keynote finished, thousands of delegates started walking back to the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (MTCC). The initial push seemed to be towards the lowest level of MTCC […]
Earlier this month I flew to Toronto, Canada to attend the 2016 Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. This was my first time attending a partner conference, and it was quite an experience. There was far too much content to complete in a single article, so I’ll start with an introduction and […]
I’ve been far from prolific this year in getting new articles up onto the site, but not for too much longer. Here’s a preview of things to come: SQL Server 2016, Microsoft Azure Stack – Part 2, CRM 2016 Spring Refresh, plus, Further looks at Windows Server 2016 and ADFS […]
Happy Thanksgiving to folks in the USA. I’ve finally taken the plunge and decided to get stuck into the recently released Release Candidate (RC) of ASP.NET 5. Prior to today, I’d stuck with the RTM version of Visual Studio 2015 which insulated me from some of the changes which are […]
Introduction This was ideally supposed to be one of the (logically) first entries in a series of articles about the newly minted Microsoft Windows 10. However, owing to some of the more controversial aspects of the default settings in Windows 10, I felt compelled to do a quick write-up on […]
Intro Windows 10 was officially released last week. In the wake of the release, concerns have surfaced about privacy and control issues which are enabled by default in all popular versions of the new Windows – including Enterprise edition. We’ll take a look at what reasonable steps you could (or […]
As long time readers of Sanders Technology are no doubt are aware, I rarely install operating systems on bare metal (non-virtual) systems. Partly this is a practical measure, there are a lot of releases if you take into account pre-release and beta versions, and partly an issue of convenience. Therefore, […]
The big news today is the launch of Microsoft Windows 10. About eight hours ago, the RTM builds were made available to MSDN subscribers, although network congestion has made it very difficult to get a clean download. You can also look at upgrading via the free upgrade route as well. […]
Introduction Continuing from the experience with Visual Studio 2013, the next edition – Visual Studio 2015 – was officially released to MSDN subscribers early this morning. This edition follows the trend established in the previous edition of providing two channels of licensing – by using a Microsoft Account or by […]
At the start of this month, Microsoft released another preview edition of the upcoming next edition to the Windows operating system franchise. This is Preview 10074, and contains a few very interesting changes. I ran up the Preview image earlier today to take a look at what’s new. Installing Windows […]
Tonight I finally got around to installing the recently released Windows Server Technical Preview 2, which was published around the time of the annual BuildConf in the US. So I ran up a Hyper-V image and hit the standard product selection screen. I was greeted, as it has been rumoured, […]
We’re so very close to Visual Studio 2015’s launch. The Release Candidate (RC) is pretty much the last of the community pre-release versions before it hits the RTM (release to manufacturing) edition. Here’s the configuration I’ll be playing with:
