Vista Vibes #1: Frank Arrigo
Hi Frank, couple of quick questions if I may.
How long have you been running Vista for on your desktop (honestly)?
As my primary machine – 19 May 2006. I have it running on a Toshiba A7 (dual core)
Tell me about a Vista feature have you discovered recently.
The game Purble Place
Are you going to attend any of the upcoming Vista events?
Yup
Any interesting Vista stories to tell?
All my kids are in love with Vista. They are hogging the machine when I take it home.
Finally, I’d like to kick off my TTB journey by providing a bit of a feel for what’s going on behind the scenes. The next month is going to be pretty busy as you guys get ready for these upcoming Vista events, what’s it like back there right now? I know that Chuck’s been madly racing around trying to find copies of WinFX that run on current Vista builds but who else from your team is getting involved in these events? And how? How big a piece of your year’s messaging strategy are these next set events likely to be?
We’re all frantic at the moment. The team is working on a number of different events – MEDC, Innovations, Gartner, User Group Tours, Tech.Ed
Everyone in the team is involved in one way or another with each of these events. They look at the content and delivery – which means they define the contant and then find the speakers (may include themselves)
FY07 has a number of priorities : picture a pyramid
Live & Web
VS / SQL / Dynamics
Windows Vista & Office 2007
One event that is on the radar is ReMix – take the Mix06 event and redeliver in Australia
