What's good, LinkedIn? Welcome to my first Weekly Tech Rundown.
In this week's edition:
??? CVAD/WVD POC
?? VMware NSX lab setup
?? Win PowerTools resurrection
??? Looking to run a quick POC for CVAD with WVDs, Citrix Tech Zone has this great guide designed to do just that. The goal of this POC is to bridge on-prem CVAD deployment with MS Azure subscription using CVAD.

?? If you are always testing new releases and like POCing tech releases on the fly, a Virtualized home lab environment is a must. @Brandon Lee at VirtualizationHowTo makes the case while everything is moving to the Cloud, there is no substitute having your own hardware to get that hands-on experience and level-up your tech skills

?? Dan Patrick @deltadan reminisces about Win95 and how it changed his life (More on that later) then delivers a step-by-step epic guide with screenshots on how to setup the rebooted feature-rich PowerToys to help you squeeze more efficiency out of Win 10 shell becoming a Power User and master of your own Win10 customization domain.
