Hello from the beautiful Orleans Casino Hotel in Las Vegas, site of the 2007 Windows Vista RTM Lab. We are about to begin and I walked in the room to find that I don't need to use my laptop. I don't need to use it because they have Alienware machines set up with Vista on them! Well, not ALL the seats have them, but I managed to snag one. So I am writing this from Vista on an Alienware rig, with the latest wireless MS keyboard & mouse, of course.

The first thing I did was to log in to the site, and I was looking for the Firefox icon. Okay, I need some more coffee. So I assume this time we will actually be able to play with the features as they discuss them, which is a first. It's something we have suggested many many times but they didn't do it until now.

I'll follow up as I can provided the material is not confidential.
