   It would be helpful if you could list dates/times with the cities.

   Thanks

   yes, a list of dates/times would be very helpful.  Also, could you provide us with the places you will be going while in the individual cities, or do we have to find you guys?  I live in Charlotte, and would really like to attend.

   That sounds really cool...but what about the West...you know...where a lot of the tech companies originate from? What about California (my state, I'm in Oxnard, CA)...you know...the state with the most population...I'm sure there's something planned for us...right? I've been waiting for anything for us because since I'm not an official "IT" person, I can't really attend the seminars, so I've been waiting for any consumer-oriented events...but no...it's all in New York...and now this. (OK, I'll stop using the "..." but it's all I can think of). Anyways, all of you who get to have some fun, go ahead and do so, but could you please do something extra happy so it can makeup for what I'm missing. Thanks, great job with the marketing too guys, it finally looks like the "multi-million" dollar marketing campaign we were promised...I can't wait!

   Cool, have a good time touring the East Coast.  Wish I could go, as it sounds fun, but I dont live on the East Coast.  Nice to see you visiting North Carolina, as I used to live there.

   Hey Alber1690:  given that CES was last week and the week following out coach tour is the launch in NYC, we're just too strapped for time to be able to hit both coasts.  I'd have liked to have done both myself, being a native Seattleite, but there simply isn't time and the cities are too far apart in many cases.  But, we're holding local launch events for developers and IT pros in many localities, so take a look for the one nearest you:  http://www.technetevents.com/default.aspx.

   Hey HKLM, Chris3d, et al:

   Our schedule will have to be fluid depending on weather, timing, the reception we receive at each stop, etc, but it will roughly look like this:

   Begin:  16 Jan in Nashville, TN

   End:  23 Jan in Nashville, TN

   Date/From/To

   Day 1, 16-Jan

   Nashville/Lexington/Cincinnati/Columbus

   Day 2, 17-Jan

   Columbus/Pittsburgh/Pittsburg/Philadelphia/Baltimore/Washington, DC

   Day 3, 18-Jan

   Washington, DC/Richmond, VA/Williamsburg

   Day 4, 19-Jan

   Williamsburg/Charlotte

   Day 5, 20-Jan

   Charlotte/Raleigh-Durham/Savannah/Jacksonville

   Day 6, 21-Jan

   Jacksonville/Orlando/Gainesville

   Day 7, 22-Jan

   Gainesville/Atlanta/Athens

   Day 8, 23-Jan

   Athens/Nashville

   I'm thinking that in reality we'll need to split Day 2 into two separate days, thus pushing the remainder of the schedule back by 1 day.  But, we'll need to play it by ear to some degree, largely depending on our audience in each locale.  So, expect that we'll post regularly to this blog about where we are currently (we've got a gadget coming that will help with that) and where & when we expect to be next.

   We're looking forward to seeing you all in the coming 10 days!

   It is too late to wow me.  If you wanted to wow me, you should have had companies on board to get their drivers onto the RTM disc - the same RTM image you released to MSDN.

   The very same RTM image that causes nothing but problems, ENDLESS problems.  Maybe, after people finish writing their drivers and then testing them (I get the impression that many companies did not even START writing their drivers until after the RTM, and if ATI's beta period is any indication, it is gonna be a LONG wait), maybe then I might get wowed again.

   Instead, I am just overly annoyed that common hardware isn't supported.  From Promise 378 controllers to Linksys wireless adapters to any video card older than 2 years old, Vista just doesn't perform.

   As it is now, the only wow I have is: "WOW, my system locked solid booting again", "Wow, 20,000 drivers and none of them seem to be for anything I actually need.", or how about : "WOW DOES THIS EXPERIENCE EVER SUCK"

   Those are my current wows, do you honestly think a pretty bus is going to change that?  Wow, what are you thinking...

    And while we are on the wow topic : Wow, why does this site kill my IE7 browser every second visit when I scroll the page?
