1) MICROSOFT ANNOUNCE THE "VISTA" LINEUP - OR DID THEY?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Microsoft slipped up last week by posting a webpage that showed some of the versions of Windows Vista that they are looking to launch...

It was quickly taken down again but not before word spread around the Internet!

2) MICROSOFT ANNOUNCE THE NEXT VERSION OF OFFICE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Microsoft have announced the lineup of its upcoming 2007 Microsoft Office system, previously code-named Microsoft Office 12, including new and improved suites, applications, servers and services to be available by the end of 2006.

3) MICROSOFT RELEASE WINDOWS DEFENDER - BETA 2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Windows Defender Beta 2 - detects and removes known spyware from your computer, which helps make your Internet browsing safer.

The software uses automatic definition updates provided by Microsoft analysts to help detect and remove new threats as the threats are identified.

Take a look at some of the good points here:

4) BE THE FIRST TO SUBSCRIBE.

---------------------------------------------------


For over a year now I have been working with early versions of Microsoft's new operating system - Windows Vista.

This has meant trips Microsoft HQ in Seattle and various product meetings here in the UK...

...and of course testing the software every time Microsoft have released a new "test version."

As Microsoft move towards a launch date, later this year, I am announcing a couple of launches too!
