I am so lucky to experience IDF (thank you Jason Davidson, Josh Hilliker and Kevin Ma). The atmosphere here is amazing. Wide varieties of people are here to enjoy what is new coming out of Intel. Opening key notes were invigorating and exciting. Craig Barrett kicked off the experience with his speech, "Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned," what a simple and powerful saying in Craig Barrett's speech.

 

Going through show floor area, where the majority of the demos are located, there is so much exciting new stuff, everything from virtualization to new hardware. Let me key you in on something that is going to big with vPro: remote help for your home computer. With this technology, you can have a key stroke on your PC, it will send a signal to several qualified providers that you can choose from, they will receive a code, and the one of your choice can fix your PC remotely. You would not even need to bring in your PC or have a tech come to your place of residence for most problems. Josh Hilliker is going to be putting up w a PDF about it here on the vPro Expert Center. Keep your eye out for some clips and more cool new features from different people on the Open Port site.

Here are some behind the scenes photos I took while we set up the Intel vPro Technology Zone on Monday 8/18. Josh Hilliker and the vPro Expert Center will be there. You will also find booths with members of the ISV community. There's going to be a lot of great information available, cool SWAG and some cool prizes for those of you attending who take part in our passport program. Prizes? Who really cares about those anyway. The real deal is getting to meet contributors to the vPro Expert Center in person! We look forward to seeing you there!

 

When you see this sign, walk towards it!

 

Our friend, Mike Baum, from the Ultimate Geek Challange helped us get a lot of stuff set up at our booth. Thanks for all your help Mike!
