How long have you been running Vista for on your desktop (honestly)?
I don’t use Vista as my primary OS yet – I don’t trust any beta bits with business critical data

I have 2 Tablet PCs I carry with me most places I go, one runs Windows XP Tablet edition and one runs the latest Vista bits I can get my hands on

Tell me about a Vista feature have you discovered recently.
I have been playing with Vista bits for well over a year now so I am not discovering much new anymore, my favorite feature is the ability to type the app name in the start window and find it fast

Are you going to attend any of the upcoming Vista events?
I am presenting at the Sydney Touchdown event, I presented on Vista Sync Center at MEDC in Las Vegas, I will be at TechEd in Boston and TechEd Aus

Any interesting Vista stories to tell?
As a developer the big story is how to use the new Vista features. For me the mobility features are super important. I have been working with the Sync Center bits a fair bit recently trying to get a .NET library to expose its sync features in the Vista Sync Center

Finally, you’re a bit of a traveler from what I’ve heard; I’ve also heard that one of the marketing symbols for Vista is “Connected” (the others being “Clear” and “Confident”).  Have you found anything in Vista that has made your connected traveling life any better?  
Vista has some awesome new features for mobility. The power management is far better, there is a new Network Awareness API, the Sync Center for centralized data sync with other computers and devices and the new SideShow features are very compelling.
