Woo Hoo…

We made it – Vista is out there – I’m off to Dick Smith to be part of the first copy sale.

We have been on the news all day and there will be more tomorrow night – I’m especially looking forward to Campbell Live.

My team have done a great job on Vista developments in NZ – we have helped literally hundreds on companies to work on Vista specific solutions.  We have put over 35 ISV’s through Vista development support and have worked to get the first NZ Gadgets up and running.

Nigel has gone live with a post on the Gadgets and the launch – check www.microsoft.co.nz/gadgets to see the first few we are highlighting.

We also have a section to highlight a few of NZ’s ISV’s who worked with Vista and Office – we have many more, I’ll be pushing my team to let you know more about them and their experiences over the next few months..

PC Word also have a great issue out this week with a 60 Day eval of the 2007 Office System on the cover and a reviewers guide of Office and Vista.

Finally, I love the revised NZ background for Vista – check them out.  We need to work on some great Dreamscene footage as well ;

It’s an exciting time to work at Microsoft!
