New Windows: Silicon Valley, French Style

Located near Sophia Antipolis, a sort of French Silicon Valley, the Acropolis in Nice has for three years been the site of Microsoft's Tech-Ed Europe conferences, organized by Mike Jackson, project manager with Ultimate Events in London. Jackson gives Acropolis staff members high marks and he's not the only one to be impressed. The facility has also attracted other high-tech companies such as IBM, Honeywell, and Nexus Business Communications Ltd.
