Microsoft Training For The Connected Home

By on August 15, 2008 in Digital Media Receivers, Hardware, Routers, Software, Video, Windows Home Server, Windows Media Center

For those of living in the Boston area, or will be near there on September 13th, you might want to check this free training day out.  From the New England Digital Media site:

We are holding a FREE All Day training event at the Microsoft office in Waltham, Ma in partnership with Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard.

The event is called “The Connected Home Day”. It’s a full day training for novice computer users who want to learn how to build and secure a home network, use Microsoft Media Center to it’s full potential and use Windows Home Server to store and backup their important documents and precious Digital Photos and Videos. We will also be covering the Analog to Digital conversion in Feb 2009 and what it means to the average person.

It sounds like it would be a nice event to go to and learn a thing or 2.  Being that it is sponsored in part by Microsoft, I would not be surprised if they had free copy of something for the attendees.  I wonder if my company needs anyone in that area in mid-September…

About Jim Clark

Hello. I’m from the heartland of the U.S. Lots of corn and beans, although Iowa is a lot more than just farmland. It also has a few computer enthusiasts (no, not me!). I’ve been around PCs since I got my 1st PC XT aloooong time ago. WGS is one of the first sites I found centered around WHS. And the best. Every once in awhile, I do get away from the KB and enjoy time with and my wife and our 4 kids. And I do have a day job.

    Hey guys, I’m the guy running the show. MS and HP have very little to do with it. But, if they decide to sponsor a UK or Netherlands trip, I’d be more than happy to run it. :-)

    Hopefully, you will have a good turnout. Will you post any of the training session stuff after the training day?

    We’ll probably have the slide decks available and I’m hoping to stream it live and also record it for viewing later. But as I keep telling everyone that askes about streaming . . . “No bodies in the seats, no event”.
