    So it is pretty well known that for this year Tech•Ed that paying delegates will receive a HP Mini-note 2140 for everyone to experience the Windows 7 Experience. Big shout out to Nick Hodge for his hard work in getting this over the line. But as we’re over the legal and compliance fun, its down to ensuring we give the best experience to every single person that receives a mini-note.

    Experience Windows 7 on an HP Mini Notebook

    As you can well imagine there are many factors we need to consider when we’re expecting ~2500 machines to be delivered to end users in 5 days… And this will be a main theme of quite a few posts on this blog as it presents quite a few unique challenges.

    • Wireless Network planning – a LOT of work is been done to mitigate risks around this
    • Help Desk – Providing support around these machines including DOA’s
    • Power and Charging – Ensuring these machines will be charged up enough at hand out and there are enough power points around the venue.
    • Handing Out to Delegates – People flow!
    • Imaging – how to get the image onto the machines, luckily we have Jeffa helping us here as the “Build Czar”

    This is a start to the planning we’ve made, let us know what you want to hear about. To start with, the question everyone wants to hear about.. WIRELESS!
