"The reason to switch"

I've been seen rather recently some of the mac switch commercials on the bogs and group emails that I have been receiving. So I want to share with you some of the more "serious" and comic ones that exist

Vista and office 12 Beta

A couple of days ago the office 12 and windows vista beta were released to the general public. We at unsw are going to have the opportunity to receive a copy of the beta CDs to install for all the students.

I will blog again when I get the CDs and start distributing them for students that are interested! There will also be an opportunity to get a copy at the CompSoc install fest early next semester.

Binfsoc Indoor soccer Comp

The binfsoc Indoor soccer competition was held last Friday, and from all accounts it was a great success. On the left we can see some of the participants with with most of them I was told being the winning team. The winners received a copy of VS Express and one of the newly released Windows Vista pens.

Benfsoc can be found at http://binfsoc.bioinformatics.unsw.edu.au/ I look forward to other events, which hopefully I can make next time.

Windows Vista Beta & Office 12 Beta

Microsoft is about to release windows Vista and Office 2007 Beta versions. This release will be aimed at computing professionals and also at computing students, and therefore we at UNSW will be able to receive a free version.

Windows Vista will be able to from the end of the semester, hopefully it will mean that there will be copies for any staff/students at the vs2005 launch seminar. There will also be copies of the software available at the COMPSOC install fest to any interested Parties. I am hoping to possible have some sort of install fest before the end of the semester.
