I see the latest Windows advert is up on http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ . These are the US adverts and the UK adverts are coming so I’m told. It is nice Microsoft beginning to emphasize the value of it’s products … I just wish I could see the how the whole series will play out. The latest...
I love what goes on at these events. It would be good to see you there. Here is the little advert: Final chance to save £110 . Very limited Early Bird places left - don't say we didn't warn you! 1,000 web developers, designers, development managers and technology evangelists are going to take...
