Just had a couple techs scratching their heads about finding the path.
Seriously? Yes.
But to be fair, the path can get long and downright hard to read. And that was the problem for our tech friends.
Now my friends are smart guys, but they had a problem with a path. I can understand, since my path statement is over 800 characters, and nearly impossible to understand when read the normal way. They should have learned PowerShell. I’ll show you why, and it’s a great example of how PowerShell blows away other methods by being super easy and ultra flexible.
Microsoft Office 2010 And SharePoint 2010 Go RTM
Office Products Ready To Roll
As a Microsoft Fan-Man I am so happy to share my enthusiasm. On April 16th we got the news
all went RTM.
But What Does RTM Mean? What Does RTM Stand For?
RTM stands for “Release To Manufacturing” and it MEANS that it’s heading to market. It’s first made available to customers with Software Assurance (SA), and will be making it’s way to us very soon. Software Assurance folks get to download theirs on April 27th. Suckers without it are just going to have to wait until May 1.
Oh, those 4 days I’m going to be laughing, and rubbing it in the faces of people without SA. No, not really
There’s still a virtual release on May 12, and there’s also a website to go along with that – http://www.the2010event.com
Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
I can’t wait to get these installed in a production environment – Project Server administered via PowerShell, SharePoint 2010, Office 2010 distributed via App-V.
And Visual Studio 2010 pulling it all together with some slick apps.
2010 is a great year
