Microsoft Office 2007 launch

We dragged ourselves out of the house today and went to a Microsoft Office 2007 launch event, otherwise known as, Ready for a New Day Launch Tour 2007.  The event was held in a large ballroom at the Venetian, and we got a preview of some of the new features in Windows Vista, Office 2007, and a couple of other programs which are mostly over my head.  It was interesting because it was like a mini-tutorial, and now I’ll know how to use a lot of the cool new features in Vista when we eventually upgrade.  The best part of the event was the goodie bag—a light-up Microsoft pen, a “Launch Tour 2007” t-shirt, and a free copy of Office 2007!  Yes!  Isn’t that amazing?  Flippy and I each got a copy of Office 2007 and a program called Microsoft Groove, and they have a combined retail value of $600.  So, we left the house for a few hours, learned some stuff, got cool Microsoft freebies, and $1200 worth of free software.

A lot of the Launch Tour 2007 dates are sold out or have passed, but there are still some left.  Check out this list and see if there’s one you can attend—it’s free!  Ready for a New Day Launch Tour 2007 dates

  2. Wow.. I would love to attend a similar event.  I wonder if they will be having anything like this is Canada.

  3. Sweet! Sounds like the l00t was definitely quite worth the trip.

    I’ve been pondering whether or not to go to Vista right away or wait the 6 months to a year for them to address initial bugs. I haven’t had time to read up on how stable Vista is.

  4. A quick update to mention that Flippy upgraded her laptop to Vista and didn’t have any problems.  Well, there was actually a problem with one driver, but a quick search of the Internet revealed an easy fix.  So far, she likes the new OS quite a bit.  I got my upgrade disc today, but haven’t had time to install it yet.  The upgrade took Flippy about two hours, most of it just waiting, rebooting, and waiting.
