CompTIA Breakaway: Can Wii Talk, OnForce?
The VAR Guy hears OnForce will give away Nintendo Wiis at CompTIA Breakaway next week. Our mystery blogger by day (and video game addict by night) will stop by the OnForce booth -- with open arms and empty hands -- to say hi. (Are wii clear?) Kidding aside, here are five things The VAR Guy wants to hear from OnForce at Breakaway.

The VAR Guy hears OnForce will give away Nintendo Wiis at CompTIA Breakaway next week. Our mystery blogger by day (and video game addict by night) will stop by the OnForce booth — with open arms and empty hands — to say hi. (Are wii clear?) Kidding aside, here are five things The VAR Guy wants to hear from OnForce at Breakaway.
The list…
- Oh, Canada: How’s the push into Canada going? The VAR guy hears expansion is going fast. Any IT trends up North that differ from what we’re seeing in the US?
- Economic Reality Check: Are IT service providers still profiting from the OnForce marketplace? If so, where are the hottest areas of opportunity? And how have OnForce members adjusted their strategies amid one of the most stressing economies in recent memory.
- DirectPointe: OnForce inked a partnership with the big managed service provider, DirectPointe. How does the deal benefit DirectPointe and OnForce marketplace members?
- Dell: Love ’em or hate ’em? The VAR Guy is hooked on Dell’s Linux PCs. But how are OnForce members feeling about the PC giant’s moving into managed services and channel partnerships?
- Vista Redux: Microsoft is launching quite a marketing push around Vista … again. The VAR Guy has been pretty harsh on Vista. But he’ll keep an open mind if you spot any Vista-related trends popping up in the marketplace.
- Bonus Request: This list was designed for five entries. But here’s a bonus with a bit of inside baseball chatter: The VAR Guy is hungry for a widget… send it along.
The VAR Guy: “Are wii clear?“
Tom: “Crystal.”
See you at CompTIA Breakaway.
TVG —
Looking forward to seeing you in Orlando next week, and perhaps learning your true identity.
We like to make quite a splash and have a lot of fun at Breakway, and this year will be our biggest yet. And yes, “wii” are clear… but sadly, we cannot feed your gaming addiction, as it may consume too much of your time and deprive the world of TheVARGuy. Those Wiis are highly addictive!
We’re looking forward to discussing all the items on your list, and even adding a few of our own:
* The rapid convergence between IT and consumer electronics, and the effect on (and opportunity for) VARs and solution providers.
* A major advance in the way IT firms can find, manage and pay contract technicians through OnForce (stay tuned)
Looking forward to a big, exciting event next week.
Best,
Matt Johnston

Matt: Wii won’t hold it against you when we walk away empty handed. A few of those OnForce Mamp;M bags will be a nice consolation prize. And yes, there will be ample time to discuss the more important topics at hand: IT/CE convergence, OnForce advancements, etc.
