Thank you to everyone who attended the Miami launch event! I hope you enjoyed it and learned a few things that will help you become more successful at positioning Vista, Office 2007, Sharepoint, and Exchange.
I know I had a few questions that we needed to find answers for, so here are some of them:
Although we did have some issues with the Media Center, it is a great tool to digitially record television shows, giving us the ability to even fast forward, pause, and rewind live TV! However, we may want to archive those TV shows that we record onto a DVD. How do we do it? Check out this link:

On the topic of sharepoint, we wondered how to setup the shared documents section as if it were similar to a network share so that we could transfer a number of files over. The following link will give you some pointers on how to do so:

Vista allows us to run applications under the context of the Administrator account, but we may be looking for a way to run applications under an alternate account. I thought there was a way to do it through the GUI but I couldn't find it (I'm going to do more research on this), but for now, you are still able to use the RUNAS command with steps below:
=========================
RUNAS [ [/noprofile | /profile] [/env] [/savecred | /netonly] ]
/user:<UserName> program
RUNAS [ [/noprofile | /profile] [/env] [/savecred] ]
/smartcard [/user:<UserName>] program
RUNAS /trustlevel:<TrustLevel> program
/noprofile specifies that the user's profile should not be loaded.
This causes the application to load more quickly, but
can cause some applications to malfunction.
/profile specifies that the user's profile should be loaded.
This is the default.
/env to use current environment instead of user's.
/netonly use if the credentials specified are for remote
access only.
/savecred to use credentials previously saved by the user.
This option is not available on Windows Vista Home or Windo
ws Vista Starter Editions
and will be ignored.
/smartcard use if the credentials are to be supplied from a
smartcard.
/user <UserName> should be in form USER@DOMAIN or DOMAIN\USER
/showtrustlevels displays the trust levels that can be used as arguments
to /trustlevel.
/trustlevel <Level> should be one of levels enumerated
in /showtrustlevels.
program command line for EXE. See below for examples
Examples:
> runas /noprofile /user:mymachine\administrator cmd
> runas /profile /env /user:mydomain\admin "mmc %windir%\system32\dsa.msc"
> runas /env /user:user@domain.microsoft.com "notepad \"my file.txt\""
NOTE: Enter user's password only when prompted.
NOTE: /profile is not compatible with /netonly.
NOTE: /savecred is not compatible with /smartcard.
