Hi all! I threw the presentation I gave at Wasatch Software and Microsoft’s Windows 7 launch event up on YouTube. It’s about 45 minutes long, so I had to break it up into 6 segments. Here’s the first one:
If you’d like to check out all of the footage, here’s a summary of the contents of each:
Video 1 of 6: Wasatch Software news and offerings
Video 2 of 6: Windows 7 basics, Windows XP Mode and Virtual PC

Microsoft Certified Professional
Sweet! Today I became a Microsoft Certified Professional in the following:
‘Designing and Providing Microsoft Volume Licensing Solutions to Small and Medium Business Organizations’.
What a mouthful! I probably should have done this some time ago as I’ve either been working on Microsoft’s Sales and Licensing Team or running my own software license resell company for nearly 10 years now. However, it wasn’t until recently that I found out Wasatch Software would become a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner if 2 people from our organization passed the exam (Jake Boden from our company takes the exam tomorrow).
The test really wasn’t too tough. As is the case with many Microsoft exams, you have to think how Microsoft wants you to think, and not how you would if you were faced with such licensing scenarios in real life. If you happen to be involved in software licensing, this is a worthwhile exam to take!
