Blog Detail
The things that are better left unspoken
http://blogs.dirteam.com/blogs/SanderBerkouwe…
This blog is about my daily experiences, thoughts and personal opinion about Microsoft and Microsoft related products. This sounds a bit weird, because everyone has daily experiences and annoyances when using Microsoft products.
Perhaps me noticing IÂ’m employed by a Dutch IT company helps to take interest in the things I write. If you think I work on a helpdesk of some obscure ISP like your nephew (aged 12) you definitely have the wrong picture!
In my job I meet multiple customers a week with multiple problems with multiple Microsoft and Microsoft related products. I also facilitate two project leaders that manage project teams in various sizes, project scopes and project lengths. To top it all off I act as the Administrative contact for my companyÂ’s Microsoft Certified Gold Partnership, which lets me meet all kinds of interesting people.
