As you head into the holiday/winter break season, take a look at these two Tech Talks for your viewing pleasure!

1.       Health Solutions: Our first video now on Hey-Genius.com/TechTalks, features a PM and a GM from the Health Solutions org and walks viewers through a HealthVault demo.
2.       Virtual Earth: Our second video (in the final stages of production this week) showcases three cool Virtual Earth demos, presented by an SDE and Sr. PM, which will be available for viewing on HG.com next week.

You’ll also notice the speakers for both sessions have dedicated this week to answering questions about their presentation, product, or just generally what it’s like to work at MS, in our new HG.com Tech Talk Forum .

- Kalpita Deobhakta, a PM featured in the Health Solutions presentation, submitted an inaugural post to the forum, so engage with Kalpita this week. Kalpita is a Waterloo grad and came into MS as a PM in Office four years ago before moving over to the HealthVault team.
- Steve Lombardi, Sr. PM and Anne Loomis, SDE from Virtual Earth will be in the Tech Talk forum this week as well.
