In our onward going strive to get our verticals as efficient as possible on the market we were recently discussing whether we should continue our own Links feature or should abandon it and fully adopt the standard NAV version. One of the arguments against standard NAV is the simple fact that users are not able to personalize the Links window, both on Classic and RTC, while they can in our solution. As this also seemed in conflict with standard NAV behavior we considered this a bug and decided to…

As I am preparing some RTC demos I had been roaming around on Partner Source for some good ideas and had a look at the demo scripts . I down loaded various of them including some PowerPoint presentations like the Introduction to NAV 2009 PPT . The link says it's a .pptx file, but once down loaded it shows as DemoScriptIntroductionPPT.zip . Opening this .zip file I found myself looking at a whole bunch of files: So what to do with that?

Last week I attended an internal event where during one of the break-out sessions my younger colleague Andreas Zippel did a very good presentation on RTC arousing quite some enthusiasm in the group. Worthwhile mentioning is that he only recently started working on RTC! Already working with RTC for a couple of years I was also touched by it all, not in the least due to the fact that I even learned something new. I have to confess I was quite surprised I hadn't noticed this feature before. Especially…
