What a great month for ReSearch This and the Operations Manager community!

Big updates this month include:

  • The ReSearch This contest was announced this month, information on how to win a Surface RT or a signed copy of the Unleashed book are available here!
  • Inside Podcast Networks podcast #36 (July 17th episode, available on iTunes) with Pete Zerger and Dan Kregor “Inside Central 36 – WPC, MS Reorg and Surface RT Pro” discussed the new ReSearch This contest. The whole podcast was good stuff (including Pete’s discussion on how to make your Surface RT work like a Surface PRO using Azure). The discussion specifically on the contest is available about an hour into the podcast.
  • There have been a several new ReSearch This KB articles written this month by a variety of authors (details are below).
