Well, I have to say that the launch in the UK was a farce. There were only
400 or so seats available in the auditorium, and Microsoft invited 43,000
people. It didn't matter much if you'd been invited and confirmed that you
were going, because only a few hundred people were registered on the
Microsoft database! Worse it was hosted by "trendy" TV presenter Jonathan
Ross who's knowledge of computers is probably as good as my cat's! (Only
joking Mr Ross)

Now, where did I put the phone number for DR?
