   PS I think that you guys are doing a great job with making more people able to connect to each other by text or video messaging.  My family lives in the UK and its great to be able to see them using MSN messenger with my logitech webcam.  My goal is to get my extended family using webcams soon, and every step forward you guys take in this area is welcome.

   My only complaint is that I wish the cool stuff would come faster.

   Its great that you guys have teamed up with a mobile phone company in France, and I cant wait for it to happen in 2007 in Britain too.

   Infact my big problem with Instant messaging is that my generation in the UK sort of skipped the crase, being more of a email and cellphone generation.  It still interests be that my generation although in our late 20's use technology so differently to my younger sisters generation.

   Now only if the RoundTable was for consumers and Live Messenger or at least Office Communicator. But MS have kept it for server-side software.

   Apparently the Windows Vista Upgrade Program runs from the 13th of October in the UK.

   Just called up two Evesham stores in the UK, acccording to one employee says that most PCs come with the coupon now, another staff member said the program will start Thursday.

   I guess that confirms that the program officially starts on the 26th of October.  But Evesham are running with it early under some conditions.

   According to the lady I spoke to there will be a vista coupon in each box and you can then go online to place an order with some registration code.

   She seemed to think that it only applied to MCE PCs that are vista ready in some form!

   They didnt seem to knowledgeable, however if anyone else can get details call Evesham in the UK.

   I can't afford to keep calling long distance, it seems like Im out of luck this time by a few days ... no vista coupon for me :-(

   Just a note...Of course I live in the US, and so there is no guarantee that the program will be exactly the same in the US as in the UK!
