So you tried to register for your local launch only to find out you've been waitlisted. Or you live in a city that doesn't have a launch. Although my team and I are working on a plan to visit a few more cities with a "best of" series of events, you still want to see the full blown launch and you can't get in. Then I have some good news to share: we're hosting a virtual launch event! And this post is going live just in time, the virtual launch is tomorrow, September 29, 2009!

This national virtual launch will feature the same content as the local launch events, showcasing Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 and Microsoft Forefront. There will be topics for developer, IT professionals and insightful information for the broad consumer as well. Join us for the virtual launch event, and you will also be able to join a televised panel discussion live from the San Francisco launch event, which will feature our CEO, Steve Ballmer, as he and other top technology leaders debate the role of IT during this economic reset.

Visit the The New Efficiency event site and register to attend this streamed launch event. And stay tuned to my event site for upcoming news about our regional "best of" events.
