So on tuesday I visited Microsoft’s Technet Launch for IT Professionals of Microsoft Exchange Server 2007, Windows Vista and the 2007 Microsoft Office System (aka the EVO Launch). And well now on the 19th of January 2007 I’ll be visiting Reading once again, this time for the Microsft’s MSDN Launch for Devolpers of Windows Vista and Office 2007. And with more friend tagging along!

When registering you get to choose from a selection of Office and Vista Presentations to go to, that of which are listed below. Me and my 4 friends have decided to do an all day Vista Presentation Day though we could have done all vista or mixed both Vista and office we decided that the Vista one would be of more use to us!
