The most luxurious hotel in the world, Burj Al Arab, was the stage where Microsoft launched Windows Vista, the Office 2007 System and Exchange Server 2007. The three Microsoft products were released with both English and Arabic language support. Windows Vista and the Office 2007 System have been made available in the Gulf region, at Gitex 2006, prior to the official release date in the United States. The Redmond Company has scheduled the unveiling of Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange 2007 under volume licenses at the New York's Nasdaq stock exchange on November 30. Full story and photo from here. Well, I must say, Microsoft has an impecable taste in what choosing locations is concerned. And an immense budget for this launch. I have to wonder, how many Vista licenses should they sell to cover the expenses? Tags: Microsoft, Vista, Burj Al Arab, Dubai |
