Currently at TechEd Europe, it's quite the show this year. It sold out so there are 6800 people wandering around Berlin carrying TechEd bags :)
I'm only here as an exhibitor this year, so I am not seeing much in terms of the new announcements but I'm very impressed with the sheer volume of people coming through the expo areas and taking a look at the various system center partners.
If you haven't checked out Savision Live Maps in a while, make sure you do so, they recently added some cool new functionality, I really like a new Windows Gadget that let's you see how many alerts exist against a group. It's very slick, bring up the windows sidebar, add the gadget and away you go.
At the BridgeWays pod we've been having a lot of interest around JEE, VMware and Oracle monitoring, the nice part is that the majority of people are looking at monitoring the application on UNIX/Linux showing that R2 is making some good inroads into monitoring those platforms. People are starting to see (and believe) that OpsMgr does a solid job of monitoring the whole environment, not just the Windows servers.
It's been a good show so far and we still have 3 more days!
