I've been &lt;strong&gt;in the office &lt;/strong&gt;this week working through the details with &lt;a href="http://blogs.technet.com/stevemarsh/"&gt;Steve&lt;/a&gt; and Ben as we put the final touches to what I hope will be a great demonstration of just some of the possibilities this new wave of software will mean to businesses in the UK.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/uk/partner/businessevolution/the-event.aspx"&gt;Business &lt;span style="color:red"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;EVOL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;ution Roadshow&lt;/a&gt; will be all over the UK so I hope you can find a suitable date and location to join us.  It's hard to believe that the last public beta of &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/default.mspx"&gt;Office 2007 (Beta 2 Technical Refresh)&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/default.aspx"&gt;Vista RC2 (Build 5744)&lt;/a&gt; are out the door and we are just counting the days now until RTM (Release to Manufacture).  Why not make time to ensure you have the information you need to help customers evolve into the &lt;a href="http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/E/4/BE40F0BC-434B-487C-B788-20052D75A3EC/NewWorldofWorkWP.doc"&gt;New World of Work&lt;/a&gt; and deliver positive business impact.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you don't think you are going to be able to make any of the dates we have.  Then you don't have to miss out.  Take a look at this sneak peak recorded at a recent Microsoft conference.

Would you like to get ready?  Would you?  Really?  I've been asked about developing skills by ISV partners, Custom Solution Developers and Information Worker System Integrators for the new wave of technologies coming in 2007 and I'm happy to say we have been listening.  Our training team has worked hard to get some developer training ready before we launch to customers.  This is an opportunity not to be missed but spaces are limited and interest is very high, so please book early to avoid being disappointed.  Add new strings to your bow and take aim on developing innovative solutions for your customers in these two day geek gland workouts.
