Vista and Office 2007 in ActionPack

For those of you that take advantage of the Microsoft Action Pack subscription, you will be pleased to know that Microsoft is including both Vista Business and Office 2007 in the update that will take place the second week in January. Its not quite a Christmas present, but it'll do. Many had wondered if Microsoft would actually include Vista before its General Release.

On the downside, it would appear that they are not ready to send out Exchange 2007 yet. They also are not sending out Vista Ultimate in the Action Pack, although they have said they would make that upgrade available to Action Pack users at a reduced price.

If you have a small business, Microsoft's Action Pack is a great way to leverage becoming a Microsoft Partner into ALOT of free software to use internally at your business, as well as increase your familiarity with products.
