I try to attend this event every year, as it\u2019s a great opportunity to network with others and to get some inside information on the future of things from Microsoft. It\u2019s also a good excuse to make it to the Pacific Northwest.&#160; So far, this year has presented itself for numerous opportunities to write, speak, and consult on the topic of virtualization strategies and implementations.&#160; I hope to keep this up throughout the rest of the year.<\/p>\n<p>For more details, you can visit my profile here: <a href=\"https:\/\/mvp.support.microsoft.com\/profile\/Anil.Desai\">Anil Desai\u2019s MVP Profile<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just received notification that I have been again granted the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award in the area of Windows Server Virtualization!&#160; Unless my memory is failing me, this is the sixth year in which I\u2019ve received the award.&#160; Thanks, as always, to Microsoft and the MVP program for the award and all [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","category-virtualization"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/768\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anildesai.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
