I'm Rob Marshall, a consultant who specialises in the Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager product. I like to share, i do so by blogging and helping out when I can in the MS SMS newsgroups and participating in the ConfigMgr MVP program.
I was awarded and joined the program in 2009. It'd be an understatement to say it has to be one of the best experiences an IT engineer can have, if they really enjoy specialising in a product.
My biggest weapon for troubleshooting is, my formidable knowledge, no, only joking, you, the community. I find if I cannot answer a question, then I can usually find the answer from using Bing\Google, pouring over the documentation, and if that doesn't work, tinkering in mine or someone elses virtual lab.
The blogs pretty much about ConfigMgr, but it is also a platform for me to express my random urges to display something I've stumbled across, and that I imagine would entertain you or what not as equally as it did me.
Just installed it at home, am liking it, some of the new stuff is very subtle.

Interesting read on IE9 being benchmarked. It didn't win, but it gives you an idea of the difference from its predecessor IE8

geek out on a bit about the Internet Explorer logo care of the MSDN IE Blog

IE9 is a little smarter now, i.e. new links open in a new tab, instead of a new window, GUI has been revamped +ve... etc! Time will tell :) But sure beats the last IE8...beta... ;)
