I look forward to welcoming you to the events!

This is your chance to tell Microsoft what you REALLY think about BPOS!

Me and Andy Trish have made our views VERY clear to Microsoft on what we think about the lack of margins available, the recently reduced pricing resulting in even lower margins and the fact Microsoft own the customer and billing process and NOT the partner.

My personal opinion is Microsoft will not get partners on board with selling BPOS until the above issues are fixed, so make sure you have your say and fill in the survey now.

Please post any further comments you’d like to make here or email them to me and I’ll make sure they get to Microsoft.

A quick reminder for anyone who may have missed it. Wednesday 4th November at 16:30 is the first of the Technical School Live Meetings.

Jamie Burgess will present around Windows 7 and the new features and benefits. Even if you’ve been using Windows 7 for a while now I’m sure Jamie will have something new you’ve not seen before, so if you haven’t already done so please remember to sign up now.
