Vista and Office at the CTS show for small businesses and System Builders

Wow, what a packed agenda.  Over the two days, myself and James Akrigg (of PTS TV Fame) gave 16 whirlwind tours of Windows Desktop Search, Windows Vista and Office 2007 client applications.  When I say it was whirlwind, I mean each presentation lasted just 35 mins and we then had just 10 mins to get the next audence in.  Overall, more than 900 people came and saw the two products and the feedback was awesome. (and all without even a lunch break)

We then had super stars on the stand outside our briefing area who answered more questions and demonstrated answers to specific questions.

Vista and Office mania definately started in Birmingham over the last two days.

I will be posting the slides on the site later, but the key messages can be found at the following Microsoft sites:

www.microsoft.com/office/preview

www.microsoft.com/windowsvista

 

As soon as the products reach beta 2 I will post lots of info on why Vista and Office 2007 for small businesses

Dean,

I especially loved it when explorer.exe crashed.  The good news is that the crash reports go to Microsoft to be fixed before shipping - so finding bugs helps to get them fixed :-)

glad you liked it and look out for the beta.
