Microsoft launched their Virtualization Kit, and besides being green, it's appropriate that the Kit is 'Virtual'.
Great material to build your own virtualization event, and track the Microsoft virtualization events.
Lots of great material to get your own practice rolling!
Check this great resource out.

Two dates in a row -- if you miss me in Charlotte, I'll be in Triangle the next day. From their email announcement....
Our March meeting will be on March 18th. Please note that there are three changes from the norm with this meeting.
- This is a Wednesday, not a Tuesday. We will not be having a meeting this month at the normal time (third Tuesday).
- The meeting will be from 3 PM to 6 PM, instead of 3 PM to 5 PM.
- The meeting will NOT be at the Microsoft office. Instead, the meeting will be at the Morrisville Chamber of Commerce building.
