Just got my new Thinkpad W510 notebook - Setup with 8Gb RAM, Windows Server 2008 R2 + Hyper-V

I just got my new laptop: A Lenovo Thinkpad W510. Great machine. I used to have a Dell laptop but I was so disapointed with the support service and with the reliability that I changed!

I did install Windows Server 2008 R2 and configured it with Hyper-V and everything works smoothly and fine so far. Just discovered that the W510 integrates a mobile broadband extension so i can use my 3G connection without having this extra annoying USB extension plugged-in , if not forgotten at home...

Here is a link that was usefull to me to setup my laptop with Windows Server 2008 R2:

Note : i had to get the Ethernet driver from the Intel download page: the one provided by Lenovo for Windows 7 does not work on Windows Server 2008 R2:

Model Driven Development: Code Generation or Model Interpretation?

During Code Generation 2010, I was part of a Birds of a Feather (BoF) session about Code Generation versus Model Interpretation. You can read the feedback from Johan den Haan here:

Followed by an interresting online discussion on the subject.
