Today afternoon, Vista was launched in Sri Lanka. The main event was a colorful PR blitz.
I missed the opening ceremony, and stuck around a few minutes only (most of it was stuff on Vista and how it would improve your business etc).
Vista Demo’s
There were a few of PC’s and laptops with Vista for people to try out. A rep from Microsoft called me over for a demo - overall he focused on features which casual/business users might like (Aero etc).
Swag
Just a t-shirt and a brochure on Vista. A smarter move would have been to include a discount voucher for purchasing Vista !
The brochure included some info on Vista and a note on the benefit of Genuine Windows (A not so subtle hint I guess).
Questions
I still don’t know how much Vista costs here (Sigh). Maybe that was in the presentation and I missed it.

Background
The idea behind this site is I want to be able to see a one page snapshot of what’s cool in Sri Lanka, at any time. It doesnt matter where the content originates from - it could be blog posts, GOSL, Sri Lankans drag racing on youtube, whatever.
