The TS2 Insider
Published exclusively for the attendee’s of Microsoft TS2 events
Issue FY07Q3 Updated January 15th, 2007
The Launch of 2007 Office, Windows Vista, Exchange 2007, plus much, much more is upon us! I find it very exciting and just a bit intimidating. As a former partner, I understand how confusing working with Microsoft can be. My goal is to clear a path and offer you quality content regarding our current products, where those products are going in the future, and help direct you toward key resources that I feel will benefit your business the most. This newsletter offers you a summary of those resources and gives you some suggested plans to get you started. Any feedback you can offer to improve these events in the future is greatly appreciated.
Your potential, our passion
