Council member John Ellis, FIAP says: The future’s not so bright, the future’s XP As Microsoft’s latest offering, Windows XP, and the associated upgrades to the Microsoft Office application are rolled out with it later this year, controversy rages over the company’s new software licensing policy.

The IAP’s Vice-president, Steve Cumbers, is dying to tell you about the latest all-singing, all-dancing programming language.
