Microsoft are touring the UK showing off some of the fun side of Windows Vista to IT professionals by looking at Media Center, Sideshow, Windows Home Server, Xbox 360 and other things. The events are run in the evening and include food and refreshments. One of the locations will be Manchester so I will definitely be going along, hopefully Microsoft's James Senior will be giving away a copy of my book "Using Microsoft Windows Vista Media Center" so look out for that. If you going let me know and come and say hello, I will have my podcasting kit with me :)
According to James this is what will be on:
- Windows Vista
