  • Article

This post is a little deviation from my Cloud related focus on this blog but I also own the Windows Client Track at Tech Ed Middle East 2011 – Tech Ed is a premier technical education event that takes place once a year at only handful locations around the world. Having it in Dubai for the second year in a row brings a tremendous advantage and value to the region.
