Windows Vista is Microsoft's latest operating system for PC's. It is replacing Windows XP, their current PC operating system. It will ship to large Enterprise customers on November 30, 2006 and to the general public January 30, 2007.
This is a big deal! A new operating system means lots of things. In the early stages of the rollout there will undoubtedly be compatibility issues and plenty of user frustration. However, these will pass and in the long run Windows Vista will bring a whole new wave of applications and technologies that will take advantage of the features built into the operating system.
My experience with Vista so far is that it is faster and has some really nice features. However, I have also struggled to find things that I was previously able to find with my eyes closed. Over the next couple of months I will be posting articles on what's new in Windows Vista as well as what's new in Office 2007, the latest Microsoft Office version that will ship at the same time as Vista. My plan is to publish at least one article on each per week. So stay tuned.

Big Week at Microsoft
Microsoft has officially released the latest versions of their flagship products to manufacturing this week. This means that all of the testing is done and the products are being pressed to CD/DVD's. They will be packed in really cool boxes and shipped to retailers to place on their shelves.
Windows Vista, the next version of Windows, and Office 2007, the next version of Office will be available for retail purchase on January 30, 2007. Large corporate customers will be able to purchase the software in early December.
We have been testing both products for about a year now. During that time the products have been improving regularly. I will post more information on each of the products here over the next couple of months. We will also provide demonstrations for our Clients after January 1, 2007. Stay tuned for more info on the demos here.
Both products are substantial upgrades that will provide our Clients with a more reliable, more robust desktop working environment. They both provide a very good return on investment and will allow for a stream of new technologies to be implemented.
