I’ve done a few demos about the product already on a Circle of Media last year in October, and a few times as a speaker on some seminars and events in the weeks after that - when I was still carrying around the first samples available in Europe. The Belgian crowd has been waiting for it for a few months already, but as of now RoundTable has been made available in the local market! It’s still earlier as expected, since it was scheduled to be released in Q4, which is late Spring/early Summer, but they managed to squeeze off a few months and threw it into the wild.
From the release notes:
RoundTable can be used with Office Communications Server 2007 or Office Live Meeting 2007. The estimated retail price is $3,000 (US) and they can be purchased through a direct Microsoft order process and, shortly, via authorized resellers. Of course RoundTable is not only a great addition to existing customers, but can also help generate excitement, differentiation and demand for the overall Microsoft conferencing solution.
Belgium and Portugal were the last two countries to be added to the list of the Western European region, so now the device is available anywhere overhere, even though prices might differ from country to country (although the advized rate is the equivalent of $3K in the local value)
On February 1st, the RoundTable had already been released in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
