Did you know that Microsoft has a public labs page just as Google does? That was news to me until Rick in Minneapolis sent me the link: http://www.microsoft.com/events/vlabs/default.mspx   

It’s a great place to see what Microsoft is working on. I’ll admit that a number of the projects were too techie for me – although there is a section for business executive that I thought was more interesting.

They also have a searchable database of training opportunities (online and off) so if you wanted to learn more about their upcoming Operating System you could attend a Vista 101 workshop.

For the less techie folks in the crowd, Microsoft also a great site for clip art:

And a site of templates including holiday party invitations and other season treats:
