The Thirsty Developer 20: Server Girl on Hyper-V

Beth and the Stormtroopers

In this episode we talk with our pal Server Girl (Beth
Humphreys) about Hyper-V the new virtualization technology included in Windows
Server 2008.  Beth gives us a great overview of the technology and we chat about
how developers can use Hyper-V technology to create a great developer rig.

Second Life Heroes Happen Here Launch

Before we jumped into the interview Dave spends some time talking about this last
weekend's Heroes Happen Here launch event

The event was put on by the Second Life .NET Users
Group and coordinated by our fellow Evangelist Zain
Naboulsi.  You can read Zain's
