A big thank you to everyone who attended my Summit pre-conference workshop. The interaction was great and I really enjoyed it even though I was feeling the efffects of my flight the previous day.

One thing we discovered was that good old dependable calc has changed. On a Windows 10 (build 14295 and last couple of builds) its now calculator.exe.

PS> Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Process -Filter "Name LIKE ‘calc%’"

ProcessId Name           HandleCount WorkingSetSize VirtualSize
——— —-           ———– ————– ———–
1400      Calculator.exe 373         56770560       336953344

On Windows 2012 r2 its still calc.exe which caused a bit of confusion until we realised what was happening

There seems to have been a bit of confusion regarding the European PowerShell Summit as the site will tell you that registration is currently unavailable.
There isn’t a problem and the Summit  HAS NOT sold out at this time. We just haven’t opened registration yet.
Registration will open on 15 July 2014

Steve Murawski gave three exceptional sessions on using DSC at the recent PowerShell summit.
