"We are also proud to be one of a select few Microsoft partners around the world who are joining forces for this major launch which kicked off in Los Angeles at the end of February."

"We had been gearing up for the new enterprise and developer platform in the shape of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008," says Link Development CEO Hanan Abdel Meguid.

"Now with its arrival we joined forces to explain in detail about Microsoft’s tools and technologies that will help IT professionals and developers work impressively,” he said.

"The launch programme drew 3000 visitors from all sectors of Saudi government and business and provided them with an early opportunity to experience the new Microsoft products, and also participate in Q & A sessions. Experts from Microsoft and Link Development were on hand to network. The icing on the cake was that everyone who attended left the events with all 3 new products to try," said Abdel Meguid. – TradeArabia News Service
