At the end of October, just before Halloween, I visited the Spanish city of Barcelona to enjoy a holiday break with my wife and attend the vibrant Microsoft TechEd 2014 conference. In this post, I am happy to share with you my personal top picks. Below you find the direct links to the 25 selected sessions. Of course you want to start with the opening keynote. At exactly 9 minutes, Joe Belfiore (on the right), Corporate Vice President PC, Tablet and Phone, starts talking about Windows 10. You wouldn’t want to miss that!
