Vista and Office -- Powered Together
With the launch of Windows Vista for enterprise licensing set for Thursday, Microsoft has set up a site called Power Together where you catch dozens of webcast tutorials on developing for Windows Vista and Office 2007 together, as well as introductory videos covering the basic features of the new OS and apps.
The site is also featuring an offer for free, fully licensed versions of Windows Vista Biz and Office 2007 for visitors who watch a few videos, provide some feedback, and then are patient enough to wait about six to eight for the software to arrive. Note that the free software offer is only for those who aren't already MSDN members and live in the United States, but the tutorials are open to everyone.
The site also features discounts on MSDN memberships, forums, blogs, and whatever the heck else you want in there. There are many archived webcasts you can watch at your leisure, plus you can sign up for live casts and participate in discussions with the moderators.
[Update: The PT site now states that the free software offer is "SOLD OUT". I'm not sure how a free offer sells out, but you get the idea. The site still has a lot of useful info, so check it out just the same]
