Btw, it’s nice to see that as of now the video about the Response Group Service has been viewed the most out of all the videos in the channel.

Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Resource Kit Book

Yesterday, Microsoft Press announced the new Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 Resource Kit book, available by February 4. This book holds much of the information about the new OCS 2007 R2 release which comes with the Response Group Service. IIRC, there's also a huge amount of information if not an entire chapter about RGS to which many people from the product development teams have contributed.

Multi-Lingual User Interfaces

One thing I found particularly interesting about the blog engine I am using (i.e. BlogEngine.NET) is that it comes with a multi-lingual user interface. To be more specific, the engine tries to find the best fit for the preferred language which you have set in your browser. This is nothing new but usually requires some work behind the scences. And as the guy behind (amongst many more) the multi-lingual user interfaces in all the administrative interfaces of the Response Group Service of Office Communications Server 2007 R2 I know what I am talking about 😉
