Hi,

I went to the After Hours in Leeds and i really really enjoyed it. Good presenting and showed off some of the really cool features. Also was very interesting to see the Games For Windows - Live parts.

Nice Gamerscore by the way, My Gamertag is Seraphim2150

Hi Matt:

Great event last night and the location was better than most. Didn'r realise what Vista could do straight out of the box (new Vista user) and having the time to explore is a luxury. This session has given me all the signposts I need to get results, and now that I have seen Windows Home Server I am definitely going to install the beta I have downloaded. One question about WHS - I am sure I have seen that "the beta keys will expire shortly after the release of the final version" - does this mean that the beta will stop working, and that I'll have to go through the setup all over again? Or will there be an easy path to get the (much reduced in price I hope) final version?

Cheers

Hi guys!

Thanks for the comments!

@ Michael - I'm glad you enjoyed the Games For Windows - Live section - it really is going to be a cool platform for gaming across the 2 platforms. Feel free to add me to your friends list and I'll give you a whooping on Halo 3 soon enough! The Public beta of Halo 3 shouldn't be too far away...

@ Paul - I don't have you email address, so hopefully you will read this! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm especially pleased that it has enticed you to investigate the technologies further. With regards to WHS, I'm not totally sure - If we look at Vista, you could, for example, upgrade to RTM from RC1, but not, I believe, from the Beta's. I suppose there is the potential to export settings etc from Beta 2 to the final release, but I'm not sure - let me investigate and I'll pop something on here.

Cheers guys,

Matt
