Tomorrow is the first of the three Innovations days where we will host ~150 Canberrans to show them the latest Office12 and Vista bits.  Today we had rehearsals for all the presentations and all that I can say is that this is going to totally rock!  The content is awesome and the people who come will get to see Vista, Office, Sharepoint, and WinFX in all their glory.  John Hodgson has some kick ass demo's around the new Forms and Excel services in Sharepoint that have to be seen to be believed.  Here are some photo's from todays practice session:

It all started with some clowning around at lunch time...

After lunch the unpacked a heap of boxes and started setting up the vendor stands:

Chuck got pretty animated while showing off his WPF presentation:

Later he was joined by Jeff Alexander and John Hodgson at the front of the stage:

While all that was going on, George Asgari (who is delivering the keynote at the Canberra Innovations day) used his laser pointer to examine Scott Fletcher's ear.

... and I don't even want to mention what Chuck was throwing around the room!
