\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I want to thank everyone who supported me through my times of doubt: folks at Microsoft, readers who have shown support, people who have blogged, Facebook friends etc.\u00a0 And lastly to all my Windows Server 2003 buddies working hard for their companies across the industry\u2026hang in there, you are not alone.<\/span><\/div>\n

January\u00a0’08<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Well\u00a0it\u2019s here.\u00a0 Windows Server 2008 has released to manufacturing.\u00a0 I remember over a year ago when the first WS08 came online. We used to call \u201908 our \u201cintern!\u201d\u00a0 Back then he was the \u201cLone Server,\u201d and all of us WS03\u2019s thought we had job security \u2013 at least until WS08 launched, for goodness\u2019 sake.\u00a0 Nope, they had to go and make it the most tested version of Windows Server ever.\u00a0 Yeah, tested by every server but me.<\/p>\n

Now they\u2019re everywhere, like weeds in the garden of my microsoft.com paradise. Not that any tears are being shed for yours truly. The other day I heard some engineers shooting off their mouths about how much easier the new servers are to configure and manage. They kept saying the word \u201cagility.\u201d One of them said \u201cTCO.\u201d Like I wasn\u2019t even there. I thought security would be the Achilles heel for these upstarts. I wish that I could tell you stories about getting attacked. But no, the new servers didn\u2019t miss a beat. Of course not. Oh, and don\u2019t let those looks fool you –underneath the smiles, every new server\u2019s got what the marketers call a \u201chardened\u201d core. Amen, brother. I can testify.<\/p>\n

Well, I\u2019m sick of sitting on the sidelines.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to take matters into my own hands.\u00a0 I\u2019m officially going on the job market, joining all the other Windows Server 2003’s out there looking for an upgrade.\u00a0 I\u2019m dusting off my\u00a0resume and making a date with several of the new solution accelerators.\u00a0\u00a0 Hopefully I\u2019ll snag the attention of someone at MS.com who will UPGRADE ME to Windows Server 2008!<\/p>\n

About the Lone Server<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once I was almost famous. For years, my friends and I were on the front lines: we were the Windows Server 2003 servers that powered Microsoft.com, one of the hottest Web sites in the world. Then, early last summer, everything changed. Quietly, without warning, the new kids took over. Windows Server 2008. Yes, I know, the product\u2019s not even done yet. These were Beta 3 servers, for Pete\u2019s sake. Long way from prime time. But there they were, humming away. No problems. All of \u2018em on Windows Server 2008. Except me. The last Windows Server 2003 left at Microsoft.com.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a video (1:58)<\/em> of my life today:<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a longer version (3:14),<\/em> in case you have as much time to kill as I do:<\/p>\n


\nHow can this be?<\/b>
\nIf you\u2019re like me (and I know I am), you probably wonder how a product that\u2019s eight months away from shipping can be handed the responsibility of running something as big and important as the Microsoft corporate portal. Fact is, Windows Server 2008 was lurking around MS.com since back when they still called it Longhorn. Those early bits first took live traffic back in \u201905. And since then, WS08 has been everybody\u2019s favorite kid. They called it part of the development team. Said it was a prodigy. Given all the cool little jobs. But then, suddenly, to be given the whole enchilada? All of MS.com? While still in Beta friggin\u2019 3? Unimaginable, but there it was.<\/p>\n

My only hope is that some hero<\/a> will come along and bring me some kind of, I don\u2019t know, redemption. Call me a dreamer. But really, what else can I do? No matter how you cut it, I\u2019m not long for this datacenter.<\/p>\n


\nMy Life Today<\/b>
\nI won\u2019t tell you what I actually do now on Microsoft.com. It\u2019s too embarrassing. Let\u2019s just call it a serious fall from grace. However, I do try to keep busy. In addition to blogging in my new free time, I\u2019ve been visiting some of the Seattle area\u2019s finer drinking establishments and updating my Facebook<\/a> page. I do have time on my hands, so I\u2019d love to hear from you!<\/p>\n
