The Big B and the big V
Phew! What a time for Microsoft!! :) I remember feeling special about being born in this happening ever-evolving and ever-integrating tech era. (In fact, I felt special about turning 21 on the 21st day of the 21st century... but I dont usually feel special about just anything ;-) ) Coming back to the point, I feel special about being at Microsoft at a time when Vista RTM'ed. In Microsoft parlance, RTM is Ready to Manufacture. Which means, in Jim Allchin's words, that the baby is leaving our laps. And I do hope Vista is appreciated. What with all the security stuff and the little little things that make it so beautiful. And of course. with glass effect, it looks so pretty, there's no going back. And as though I wasnt excited enough about it, who should walk into the RTM party but BillG himself! Having seen him in person for the first term, I definitely felt energized... that's what being the boss is about, I guess. He spoke briefly about Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange Server 2007, the 3 major upcoming releases for Microsoft. With all the flak that the world gives Microsoft, there's no denying the fact that there is some really good stuff happening here. And I hand that to Mr. Gates.
...And yeah, we launched the Zune today. For those here, it really is party time!
