Nick Davies, Microsoft said, "There has been a really good buzz tonight. Even in these tough economic times, the atmosphere and energy has been impressive.

Editors Note: I have used Vista since it came out. I find it much more reliable XP and the Tablet PC tools improved significantly. ConferenceREACTION uses Folder Share, part of Live Workspace to move files between members of our team for each event we record. It is simple to move large numbers and big files e.g. photo and video between PCs. This web site was transferred to Business Scene this way.

Vista is a well known operating system but less well known is Microsoft Office Live. You can use Microsoft Office Live Workspace for free and take a look at Office Live Small Business.
