Videos: Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates speak at the Microsoft CEO Summit 2009

A quick post: Of interest is the coverage and videos this week from the Microsoft CEO Summit 2009 this week at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, where our groups hosted more than 100 CEOs.

This clip features Steve Ballmer as he "discusses the state of innovation in technology and future industry growth as IT departments continue to embrace the Internet."

 

A favourite clip is this of Bill Gates as he outlines how we might emerge from the current economic recession.

Your questions: what do I like about Windows 7? HomeGroup for managing your home network

I didn’t expect the large amount of interest and feedback on my post yesterday about HomeGroup and Play To as well as codecs in Windows 7.

imageSo, let me follow that up with a look inside HomeGroup as told by the good folks from the Windows team over on Channel 10 (also available via direct link here).  In a little more than 10 minutes, you’ll get a tour of one of my favorite features in Windows 7 for managing your home network (I feel so geeky).

"Using Homegroup you can easily connect your computers, sharing files and printers. Join me while I talk to the Windows team’s Jerry Koh and Steve Seixeiro as they walk us through using Homegroup."

Thinking about joining a new club? Take a look at the Windows Clubhouse

Groucho Marx famously said…

"I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member."

Head off to the ClubhouseWell, there’s an exception to every rule. I found such an exception in the Windows Clubhouse.

The Clubhouse is a community where you can connect with other members and help people learn how to use Windows.

"The Clubhouse is all about sharing content and ideas. Showing what you do best. Voicing your opinions. Being an active member in a community that will select the best content for display on the Windows Vista and Windows Live sites."

This is a place where you can create and rate content about Microsoft products, share through posts on your blog and provide feedback on other’s posts.

More info:

I went ahead and posted my own profile here and tagged a few of my favourite blog posts, answers to popular questions on everything from Windows Live to the latest on Windows 7 to show up in the feed.
