Introducing the Google Chrome OS

Official Google Blog: Introducing the Google Chrome OS: "Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we're already talking to partners about the project, and we'll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve."

Categories: SharePoint, Business
In my post 'Mr. Miyagi is Not a Direct Descendant of Superman' I mentioned that along with my colleague Mike Taylor, we presented: 'SharePoint Worst Practices: Five Common Mistakes to Avoid' at the recently concluded SharePoint Technology Conference in Cambridge, MA.

We explored common mistakes organizations commit when deploying SharePoint, namely:

2. Showcase Features, not Building Solutions
3. Undefined Business Case
4. Poor Understanding of SharePoint
5. Unrealistic Staffing


More importantly, we discussed key strategies and techniques on how to avoid these mistakes. Want to learn more? Click here to download the slide decks.

Also, here's the 65 minute screencast that I recorded from our presentation. Enjoy!"
