Nine years ago today (August 2000)

The biggest event on my plate in August was that I took taken delivery of a brand spanking new Itanium machine that was intended for 64bit Exchange development :).  We also shipped Exchange 2000 during mid 2000.  2000 was a time of some turmoil for the Exchange store development team – after shipping Exchange 2000, much of the store team left Exchange and moved to SQL server (where several of them still remain).  I chose not to remain with the rest of the store team and instead moved onto the SCP team (I wrote about that team yesterday).
