&lt;p&gt;After a good break, it&amp;acute;s time to return to our work! And nothing is better than meet other IT Professionals to share knowledge and news about Microsoft products. That why I announce, with great happiness, that &lt;strong&gt;Microsoft Events are back!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After two great events in the city of &lt;strong&gt;Teresina &lt;/strong&gt;(State of Piau&amp;iacute;), which I&amp;acute;ll blog later, &lt;strong&gt;Salvador &lt;/strong&gt;(State of Bahia) and &lt;strong&gt;Fortaleza &lt;/strong&gt;(State of Cear&amp;aacute;) are the next cities where we will present Microsoft events. For the month of March, we scheduled at least five presentations: four in Fortaleza and one in Salvador.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="400" src="http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windows/images/windows-7/whats-new/screenshot_jump.jpg" alt="Windows 7" height="426" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Fortaleza and Salvador, we&amp;acute;ll have three events about the newest Microsoft&amp;acute;s operational system: &lt;strong&gt;Windows 7&lt;/strong&gt;. For those who aren&amp;acute;t familiar with, Windows 7 proposes a new way to use the computer, and will be a mark in the OS world. In this presentation, the professionals will see many new features of Windows 7 and its impacts in usability, security and compatibility. We&amp;acute;ll see what changed from XP and Vista, and how this new version of Windows brings great benefits in many areas, since users to IT Pros.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="250" src="http://blogs.technet.com/blogfiles/virtualworld/WindowsLiveWriter/MicrosoftEnterpriseDesktopVirtualization_1352C/med-v_2.jpg" alt="MED-V" height="196" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another great event will be about MED-V: the new software of MDOP. &lt;strong&gt;Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V)&lt;/strong&gt; eases the deployment and management of virtual machines in Windows Desktops, while it provides access to virtualized environments, regardless their PC configurations. Compatibility problems are minimized and migrations between OS are fastened. In this session, which will happen in Fortaleza, the professionals will see how MED-V provides all this functionalities, simplify administrative tasks, turn you business highly available and integrate heterogeneous IT environments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img width="216" src="http://www.microsoft.com/brasil/certifique/shared/img/home_news/header_left_01.jpg" alt="Microsoft Certification" height="161" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, to finish March with the gold key, we&amp;acute;ll have our traditional &lt;strong&gt;Microsoft Certification&lt;/strong&gt; event. In this event, directed to all professionals in the area of information technology (from users and technicians until administrators and architects), participants learned all about Microsoft Certification. We saw what are the existing certifications, prerequisites, the careers and the benefits of becoming a certificated professional.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ah, it&amp;acute;s good to remember that all Microsoft events hosted by us are &lt;strong&gt;TOTALLY FREE!&lt;/strong&gt; And, at the end of each presentation, we&amp;acute;ll draw some gifts among the participants. In other words, you keep your knowledge up to date, don&amp;acute;t pay anything, and you can still win prizes!&lt;/p&gt;
