I just went to a 2 day seminar. Microsoft were there and they had quite a lot of PC's running Vista and Office 2007. Man! - That is just really cool. I tried it out some and did not see too many new features - but old ones wrapped in new skin. It's amazing, really, what it did; it just felt like a whole new (and better) experience. I'm looking forward to running this on a regular basis.
On another Microsoft note: Last night I updated my Media Center PC with the newest Rollup 2 update and another patch as well. After this my Live TV was blurry (to say the least); all of a sudden I had this feeling that I had been drinking heavily before turning on the TV. Not very pleasant - especially since I did not get to enjoy the drinking part. I used Microsoft's Update feature (where you're directed to a website and your PC is checked) - a very nice and userfriendly feature. Kudos to the guys from Redmond. I can even see what it has installed (nice long list) - BUT: why don't I get the option of uninstalling (which I really needed after the blurry TV images)? I had to go into the control panel and choose remove programs and then after some looking I found the option to tick of so I could actually see the updates and not only the programs. I somehow have some difficulty seeing my old mom doing this. Actually I know that her local tech-support (me) would get a call. This could have been easily remedied if I had the option of removing the stuff from the Windows Update page (I'm not sure what this involves in programming, though!).
