I had the opportunity yesterday (at least for the afternoon) to attend the Windows Vista/Office 2007 launch here in Salt Lake City.  While I couldn't make it to the IT portion of the event I was fortunate enough to be on-hand for the more developer focused event and rub shoulders with many good friends.

Pat Wright, Justin Long, Ani Babaian, Kerry Larson (sp?), and I manned a Utah Community table, handing out flyers that advertised user groups and communities in the valley.  We had a lot of interested people come by and some great conversations.  I also had a great time seeing some of my friends from my days at Microsoft :)

While I was not able to actually attend the sessions I had a great time which only got better after the event as many of us (Ani, Harold, Rob, Scott, Craig, and I) went out to dinner and had a great time.

Oh, as added incentive, every attendee of the event received a fully-functional version of Office 2007 Professional.  Very cool.  I was able to acquire a few extra copies to be handed out to the Utah .NET User Group meetings.
