With the release of Vista, and soon a new version of Microsoft Office, we begin an aggressive deployment schedule. We continue to test how well the systems that we use work on Vista, examine the spread of Vista in higher education and the general market, scrutinize reports from technology experts, listen to the recommendations of our strategic software and hardware vendors, and start planning the rollout of Vista. Although we follow a standard replacement cycle for computers at the institution, we must ensure that new community members, particularly new generations of students, find that our public computers have the latest technologies. I was quoted recently on Bloomberg News about adopting Vista. Bloomberg News Vista Quote

A key component of the new strategic plan for technology at the Law Center is how legal education will be transformed in the next two decades, partly because of technology developments. Some of our faculty members envision walking into a classroom where they can request aloud that the system show the Godfather film clip in which Don Vito Corleone makes an offer you cannot refuse. Others would like to type their names or those of their colleagues and have their entire intellectual production one-click away. Some students dream about laptop computers without hard disks that can operate for many hours on their batteries. Others believe that sophisticated mobile phones with voice-recognition will make computers obsolete. Administrators envision teaching sessions in which students and faculty members seat in different continents. How do you see the future of legal education?

Every year I am overcome with the excitement of a new academic term. The next few months will be very dynamic on account of all the new technology developments that are becoming available to the general public. Google, one of the most active technology companies, continues to release amazing software packages and services to manage information and communicate: Desktop, Earth, Talk, Scholar, Print, etc. Apple keeps expanding its share of the higher education market in general, and the legal education market in particular, with its laptops and music players. Microsoft is working hard to release a new version of its web browser, Internet Explorer, and its flagship operating system, Windows Vista. Creative Internet technologies, such as Veepers or the Facebook, are becoming increasingly popular.
