The same look and feel

I noticed Cows blog today was talking about the Office UI licensing that we've announced . You know this is one of the most significant things about Microsoft I've seen all year. We're actually granting rights to our Intellectual Property to developers

Download Vista and Office

John always has to be the first to announce whenever things get released, launched, become available. (You haven't changed a bit I see...) So of course he had to be the first to blog about Vista RTM becoming available. Office 2007 has been available to

A computer that reads hand movements

Wow. We've got some totally amazing people working here. I've just read an article in the Wall Street Journal about Andy Wilson, TouchLight and his computer that reads hand movements. You can spin stuff round on the screen just by waving at it. TouchLight

Well the new boss at Microsoft UK has finally been announced. Gordon Frazer will be taking over the helm on 31st July. He seems like a really great regular guy. He's climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, which I've always wanted to do but never got around to, he's

Moving towards truly Unified Communications

***edited with working link*** I had to miss the live streaming show from San Francisco last night as I had to sit on an online Chat between the IT Evangelists and the UK MVPs. My participation in the chat kept me too busy to truly multi task so I had

ITForum and TechEd merge in Europe

Well the IT forum site is now live on the web - but it's now called TechEd-ITForum . I think it's a really good idea that the 2 events have merged in Europe. For one thing, it's only one trip across the pond for presenters from corp, so less disruption

Triscadecaphobia - and a film crew...

Yup, I have triscadecaphobia . I hate days like these. I'm glad I don't have to get on a plane today... I'd rather hang around an airport and fly tomorrow instead, so I thought that I'd keep a bit of a low profile today and not do anything to attract
