Creating Passionate Users

Published 05 March 08 03:34 PM

Kathy Sierra is a great speaker that talks about creating passionate users. Before MSFT I spend 6 years creating Access solutions for users and always found Kathy's ideas really useful, interesting and applicable to my applications. Her blog is a great resource and I often find myself re-reading her posts. She had a great talk today and it reminded me that I wanted to share her work with all of you. Here are some of my favorite posts:

I sincerely apologise for going off topic in your comments section, but I have an Access licensing question that I can't seem to find an answer to online, including at the MS site or over at UtterAccess.

To summarise, I want to buy the Office 2007 Upgrade so that I can support one of my clients who has moved entirely to Office 2007. I currently have both Office 2003 Pro and Works on my laptop - I would like to use the Works package as the basis of the upgrade, thereby leaving me with 2 valid licenses: Office 2003 and Office 2007. Most of my clients are still on 2002 or 2003, so this is important.

Do you know whether, if I buy the upgrade, the Office 2007 Pro installer will offer me the choice as to which of the two installed packages I can use as the basis of the upgrade? I don't want my Office 2003 Pro to be deactivated.

Many thanks, and again, sorry for jumping in to a completely unrelated topic.

PS - running Vista Business, if that makes a difference.
