Hi everyone,

As mentioned by Frank, Anthony, Dugie and myself will be your guest editors for the next few months. Thanks to the last set of editors for setting a high bar - hopefully we can live up to your standards.

By day, I work for Avanade as a Systems Engineer consultant in their Infrastructure and Security Practice. Avanade is a joint partnership between Microsoft and Accenture, and worldwide has around 4500 consultants. We focus on enterprise level projects, across infrastructure, development and also Microsoft business solutions.

In my spare time I'm also a Microsoft MVP for Windows Server/IIS. I participate in a variety of forums, and have been lucky enough to be able to write a book, speak at a number of Tech.Eds and help out at other events (like the Sydney Windows Infrastructure User Group - SWIUG).

For the next few months we'll be concentrating on Windows Server codenamed Longhorn that is due for released late this year, or early next year. Stay tuned!
