TechNet Blogs Grows Up, and Goes Virtual!

I remember working with Betsy Aoki to launch TN blogs way back in 2005. At that time, we were told “IT Pros don’t read blogs. The few that do, just read the blogs on MSDN. Devs read blogs. IT Pro blogs will never succeed. ”

Today teams like The Scripting Guys, the Microsoft Security Response Center, and Office 2010, the Microsoft Virtualization team, and individuals such as Mark Russinovich (Technical Fellow), Ben Armstrong – The Virtual PC Guy (well, he’s still on MSDN blogs, but we claim him as IT Pro too), Andrey Beshkov (IT Evangelist, Russia), Jose Barreto (PM, Windows Server), Daniel Melanchthon (IT Evangelist, Germany) and the more than 2,000 other blogs on TNBLOGS drive more than 4 million page views each month.

This week, TN/MSDN blogs changed to a totally new platform, with nifty new features for you, dear reader.

Did I mention that blogs.technet.com and blogs.msdn.com are running on Hyper-V?
