Microsoft Windows Vista is being launched around the country and world. Some of the Microsoft Across America gang was in Cleveland January 23rd for a Windows Vista (and Office 2007) presentation at the Renaissance Hotel. The event was standing room only and Matt and his colleagues did their usual energetic, informative show. There are so many new and improved features in Windows Vista - many of which have been written about extensively - like the Aero Interface. So the Great Lakes Geek grabbed Matt in between presentations and they talked about their Top 3 favorite new features in the new OS that maybe haven't received as much press as some of the others.
Dan chose - Bitlocker,
- Sideshow
- Ready Boost
and Matt picked - User Account Control,
- Search (and IE7)
- and Speech Recognition.

Previous Podcast with Matt Hester
Microsoft has a lot of new products and technologies soon to be released - Exchange 2007, the next version of Office and, of course, Microsoft Windows Vista. One of the ways they inform and educate developers, IT pros, end users and business executives is through TechNet presentations.Matt Hester is a TechNet presenter who brings a lot of energy and knowledge to his presentations.
One of the technologies that Matt is a pro on (see his article in TechNet Magazine August 2006) is Windows Desktop Search (WDS). WDS is a free Windows tool that lets you search your hard drive, laptop, external drives and even company network so that you can quickly find that important e-mail or document or image that you need.
In this interview, Matt explains TechNet and how Windows Desktop Search works. Matt's a movie buff so he also tells the Great Lakes Geek his favorite techie flick.
