We always end up on some great client engagements and pre-sales meetings, but something made me laugh royally this week.  One of our clients is going through the typical Windows 7 VDI project wondering whether 64bit is realistic, should we go App-V and asking me for an opinion on strategy. 

As it happens, these folks are spot-on with their thinking and are ensuring that they’re getting the right view by collecting factual information about their application estate.  They’ll use Camwood Survey to ascertain the actual applications that they use, create their accurate rationalised list and we’ll then put the applications through our Application Compatibility service to give them factual information about their potential strategy. 

So what’s funny about that?  Nothing – that was the meeting – what was really funny was walking through Liverpool Street with two of my colleagues.  We go past Boots and this poor lass has tried to get out of the store but the staff must have forgotten to take the security tags off.  One of my colleagues who will remain nameless shouts out “STOP THIEF” at the top of his voice – the lass is mortified, it appeared that in a Matrix type scene that the world slowed down and looked at this poor woman. 

Exit stage right, three grinning fools….  Have a great bank holiday weekend!
