Since yesterday, it's possible to download NAV 2013 (like mentioned in my previous post ). Although, there seemed to be some problems. Many people (amongst me) were not able to download it. They stumbled upon the same error I mentioned in my post: MBS File Exchange Access Denied. After some support calls, clearing cache, trying on about all operating systems there are .. I got a tip from my TSAM: " try InPrivate browsing ". I had to look it up, because I never use that.. (I even stumbled upon this post - sorry for the Dutch). It was actually just pressing pressing Ctrl+Shirt+P, or: …

This morning, I got a mail from LinkedIn that caught my attention. It was Gerdien Cammeraat (which you all know from her involvement in Directions EMEA..) that started a new discussion at LinkedIn: " NAV 2013 will be shipped today ". All day, I have been watching partnersource, watching the team blog, F5-ed the hell out of my explorer-tabs.... without any notification about the release.. . Until just 10 minutes ago, when I saw on facebook a post from Zeeshan Mehdi (NAV addict and one of the best support people at Microsoft): " Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 go's RTM.

Sad news … Today, I got a mail from Mark Brummel, with at subject I first couldn't believe: "Dan Brown leaves NAV". He'd put Gary (Winter) also in cc .. and Gary's reaction was clear: "bad news, bad news .. Rats!". Who's Dan Brown? Wel, I don't mean this fellow , but I do mean the General Manager of Microsoft Dynamics NAV R&D (please do click that link ;-)) for the last 4,5 years. In my opinion: one of the best things that happened to NAV lately. The (r)evolution to NAV2009 was under his watch, as is NAV2013 .. so I must say .. I share Gary's opinion completely: rats! As he states…

It's always important to be aware of what has and what doesn't have a future. It has been announced for quite some time now .. but today (it might have been a coincidence .. but I don't believe in that) I've had to point to two different items that will be discontinued. Therefore , I decided to share with you the list of changes that are coming for Microsoft Dynamics NAV .
