I've just noticed that George has blogged about this, so I thought I'd give it a mention too. Watch the launch of Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008 from your living room In addition to the launch event on 19 th March in Birmingham, Read More...
Yep, that's right, I'm off to Belgium in the morning, on the Eurostar, to present the closing keynote session at the Belgium 'Heroes Happen Here' Launch event!  It's a real privilege being invited by Arlindo , who's been helping to coordinate the Read More...
Just highlighting a word, and then using the floating conditional Activities toolbar (kind of like the one in Office 2007) presents me with a number of options based on my selection.  Choosing 'Map with Live Maps' brings up a snapshot of the location Read More...
Both the new Zune media software, and device firmware have been released today and I have to be honest, I'm really impressed.  I'm impressed for a few reasons actually.  Firstly, that we've improved the interface of the Zune media software sitting Read More...
Anything like the one above?  Mine sure would, although the Xbox would be a little closer to the PC, and the wireless controller would obviously be next to me as I worked.  Also, where's the home cinema system?  :-) Anyway, the idea is Read More...
OK, so maybe not that old.... It's an idea though!  You have an old machine sat around, doing nothing, waiting to be retired, so why not make use of it?  You could easily turn it into a Media Center, Windows based or otherwise, serving up content Read More...
Last minute testing today with the Xbox 360 Elite, Zune, the T7-HSA and...what's that other controller...? This is just the start.... If you still want to register for the events, you can still do it: 20th September, Manchester 25th September, Newcastle Read More...
Kudos to Steve (via Long ) for this first snippet of information. Like Steve says, it's not always easy getting hold of a Microsoft product roadmap, so when one does come along, it's worth taking note. Now, although this doesn't give you specific dates Read More...
Just a quick update, tickets are going fast for the Vista: After Hours events, but you still have a chance to get hold of them! We had some brilliant feedback to our last After Hours events , back in May, and these promise to be even cooler, with even Read More...
It was quite a strange day yesterday - not strange in a bad way, not at all. It started with an email from David, at TranquilPC. He'd found, via my blog, that James and I were putting on another set of Vista: After Hours events at the end of September. Read More...
I blogged about this yesterday , and admittedly, this video doesn't look half as cool and funky as the official Microsoft Digital Lifestyle website , but it does go some way to show some of the technologies in a Digital Home.  The first part of this Read More...
I have not seen a website make me go 'Whoa!' in quite a while (Not even my own blog!) but this one sure did.  The Microsoft Digital Lifestyle is something that's really close to my heart, being a keen Xbox 360 gamer (gamertag - mattmcspirit), a lover Read More...
Whatever! :-) The Partner team here in Reading have been working on this for quite some time now, and it's finally live! Even I contributed to some of the content! The Partner Bot is a robot contact that you can add to Windows Live Messenger, using the Read More...
I've been meaning to blog about this for ages and today is the day. I've tried to embrace as many cool Vista applications and gadgets as I possibly can, but I don't have time to use and write about them all, and what with WPF and now Silverlight gaining Read More...
Firstly, a MASSIVE thanks to everyone who came along to the 2 events that James and I put on last week in Leeds and Reading respectively - we had an absolute blast doing them, and from the feedback, many of you guys had a great time, and took a lot away Read More...
