Are you on a PC, wondering whether you can switch to a Mac but needing to run a couple of Windows-only apps?

Are you on a Mac, wanting to run that one great app that just isn't available for the Mac?

Or perhaps you're a web developer, needing to see how your pages look on both platforms? Even on other Intel-based operating systems.

If you're at all curious about Virtual PC, here's an excellent opportunity to learn whether Virtual PC will handle your Windows needs — learning from one of the main VPC programmers live and in person!

But there's more...
Virtual PC isn't the only thing you'll learn about in this 3-hour session. It's also your chance to learn about using Entourage to the fullest and learn how to use Entourage with an Exchange Server for business. Whether you're on the Mac end of this equation or you're the Exchange Administrator needing to understand the Mac end, this seminar may prove invaluable. The Word Product Manager will be on hand too.

To clarify, this seminar is 100% free — you don't need an Exhibits or Seminars pass to attend!
2pm - 5pm. Full details.
