Microsoft staff will explain some of the company's latest software including Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010.
The Microsoft team will be led by Ken Rosen, the Group Manager of Microsoft Learning USA. He will be joined by Stephen L Rose, Senior Community Manager, from Microsoft USA, Tjeerd Veninga, Microsoft Learning USA's Community Lead Worldwide and Exchange 2010 guru David Elfassy.

Andrew Bettany of the University of York's IT Academy said: "This is a tremendous coup for both the University and the city – the Get on the Bus tour normally only visits capital cities. It will be a fantastic opportunity for a whole range of people with an interest in IT to engage with some of the industry's leading figures. It will also be a superb opportunity to network with fellow sector professionals."
