Escape From Yesterworld

Just yesterday we watched the Space Shuttle Discovery lift off into Earth orbit, sometimes I think an equal amount of booster rocket power is necessary to get some people to upgrade technology.

Escape From Yesterworld is a fun site just launched by the Server and Tools group at Microsoft to help people get ready for the future.

The future belongs to the swift, so get over there and grab the betas!
