About the Author
Rick Hallihan is an industry expert with a wide range of experience in technology, networking, and software development. Over the years he has developed software using Java, C, C++, and C#. Rick also has experience managing servers running Linux, Windows 2000 Server, and Windows Server 2003, including Active Directory and Group Policy management, and building networks with Cisco routing and networking hardware.
In addition, Rick has been an active technology enthusiast for many years. He has been blogging about Microsoft technologies and the Internet since March 2004. His blog can be found at http://onemanshouting.com. In January 2006, Rick was selected by Microsoft to participate in “Search Champs,” a collection of industry participants that meet in Redmond, WA, to learn about, discuss, and provide feedback on Microsoft’s Internet-oriented products and services.
Rick began his involvement with Microsoft’s Windows Home Server unknowingly with a blog post in January 2005, where he outlined a vision for a “Windows Server, Home Edition” that would leverage Microsoft’s Small Business Server platform. Little did Rick know that Microsoft was already hard at work building something similar. Soon after Windows Home Server was announced to the public, Rick was afforded the opportunity to discuss the product in-depth with Charlie Kindel, Microsoft’s general manager for Windows Home Server, mostly because of that predictive posting that he had made two years before.
Because of his involvement with the community, Rick was granted Microsoft’s MVP Award for Windows Home Server. Rick looks forward to being part of the emerging community that is developing around Windows Home Server.
