Today I am going to the downtown Paramount Vancouver for the launch of Windows Vista, the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Microsoft Exchange Server 2007. This all day event runs from 9AM to 5PM and features keynote addresses, architect sessions and IT professional track sessions.

If there is internet access at the event, I’ll log in and say post an update.
