Now the keynotes are over it’s back to the real business of BrainShare - meeting customers and teaching breakout sessions.

I did two sessions today; as well as the ZENworks Customer Appreciation cocktail party.

The Wednesday keynote was incredible.

We did a deep dive on all of the Identity Driven Computing pieces - including a really compelling demo of ZENworks managing the Novell Linux Desktop. We also did a sneak peek of the Tally Systems TS.Census product.

Found some interesting commentary on the keynote:

Bert Plat:

Next followed a sneak peek at the upcoming ZENworks 7, with its new management web interface, and the possibilities to control Linux boxes to the same extent as Windows desktops. I haven’t taken a close look at ZENworks since, oh, version 3 or so, so to me this was quite revelatory. Another product I need to take a very close look at.

Apparantly we caused an outage to the main Tally Systems web server on Wednesday after the announcement.
