TechNet Webcast: Managing Hyper-V Virtual Machines with WMI and Windows PowerShell

PowerShell MVP x2
I have to admit I was a little nervous about my end of my PowerShell MVP award year. Had I done enough over the last year to maintain it? Or enough to merit a another year? Did I spend enough time in discussion forums? Was I helpful to enough people? Fortunately it appears I was.
