By coincidence, I’m here in Seattle on the day that Windows 7 is released, its one of my quarterly visits to the mother ship to sync with my team, who are busily engaged in building a great support experience for Online Services and BPOS. I enjoy coming here and hanging with some really bright people and ensuring that I am involved in interesting and valuable projects, but today the focus will be elsewhere on the Redmond campus.
It is a happy coincidence to be here on a launch day – those don’t come around too often, and they seem like fun occasions. I’m not going to wax lyrical about the OS, I’ve been using it for a while and I find it quick, stable and easy to use, and there will thousands of news and blog articles about how good and bad it is, and how Microsoft is either brilliant or diabolical.
Whatever.
I’m really looking forward to seeing the spectacle – enjoying the buzz, and hoping that the whole release is a success. I’m proud of my job, and the company that I work for – and days like these make me realise why.
Great Post this. Very good comments about Windows 7 on the BBC News London today and earlier this week.
