Where to start with Vista as a Small Business Partner (or in fact a partner of any size)

In my previous post I mentioned how you can see Vista in action on the web, but how else does a partner start to get skilled in Vista?  There are numerious resources.

  1. See if Vista will run on your machine - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx
  2. Download or order the product and "play" with it - the best way to learn about the product is by using it yourself and then note things you do not like - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/preview.mspx
  3. Have a look at the product features page - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/features/default.mspx
  4. Do the basic Vists 101 course - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/partners/
  5. Read the Vista for partner information - noting that there is a small business customer scenario - http://microsoft.mrmpslc.com/WindowsVistaPartner/secure/scenarios.aspx
  6. Download the long Product Guide for XPS or Word
  7. See what XPS (a sort of off-line XML web based document that has great printing capabilities) by looking at the product guide in XPS format - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/xps/viewxps.mspx
  8. Comment, learn and feedback in the Windows Vista Communities

let me know what you think
