The team has toured Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne so far for the Ready Summit.  We have had a fantastic response from customers and community nationwide with around 2700 people in attendance.

There has also been a huge response to our launch of TechNet Plus Subscriptions at the Ready Summit.  Customers cant believe the value of the new TechNet Plus Direct Subscription (we cant either :) ).  You can get Vista RTM and Office RTM today by signing up to a TechNet Plus Direct subscription for only $512.
