Vista launch in Dublin: A success

Today was the official launch in Dublin for Office 2007, Vista, Exchange 2007 and Sharepoint 2007.

Great day, thanks to Microsoft Ireland for this great show in Croke Park. Two individuals I say were amazing today were Robert Burke and Neil Armstrong.

I know for sure Rob has not yet fly to the moon (sometime I wonder!) but he delivered this morning a fantastic speech and demo of Vista and business applications. Rob is such a professional speaker and a nice person too.

Please Redmond don't take our only Canadian star, we need him here ;-) 

Great stuff! Rob if you read this post, can you please let me know if I can find your demos and scripts somewhere.

Neil Armstrong has landed on the moon (hopefully), and he was surely the first one. I had the chance to shake hands (VIP pass are great for that) and get a photograph with my favourite childhood hero and exchange few words with him (in all modesty because 100 other attendees did the same).

Believe it was my first and closest alien encounter.

I even got Neil's biography at the end of the afternoon session. One regret was that the presentation by a speaker from Redmond about the future of Windows was shortened by lack of time. Pity because some of the prototypes and concepts were very interesting like dynamic filters applied to a group of mailbox.

  • Hey,

    I was at this launch also with a few work colleagues.
    I could have listened to Neil Armstrong all day as he had us all under his spell with his amazing stories.

    Any idea if you are able to download the Intro video of Neil Armstrong that Microsoft played at the conference? We are hoping to get our hands on it as we all had the hairs on the back of our neck standing up for ages.

    Cheers!
