Community Notes

Microsoft's Survey on Community

Microsoft has just launched an online survey targeted at getting a baseline on satisfaction with current Windows Enterprise Management community resources, sites, etc. In addition, they want to capture feedback on future needs, i.e. what Microsoft can do to improve the overall experience, i.e. creating a more “connected” experience across resources, etc.

 

Here’s a link to the survey.

 

BTW: The survey requires that you log in using a Live ID. 

Thanks to 1E and Microsoft

1E and Microsoft have been a godsend for myITforum.com and I just wanted to drop a personal note of gratitude to both companies.

Not only are they providing funds to Sponsor the myITforum.com party at MMS 2007, but they have been instrumental in helping the community in a number of ways.

You see their banners, buttons, and advertisements on the myITforum.com site, but do you realize how much of their time and effort is put into this community?  You regularly see 1E and Microsoft employees taking time out of their busy business-lives to help people out with questions and problems in the web-based forums and on the email discussion lists.  They blog regularly and periodically give myITforum.com great content in articles and polls prepared specifically for us.  They don’t have to do that.  But, they believe in this community as much as I do.  Being part of this community serves to help the public understand they have a real zeal to keep myITforum.com

They are an integral part of why myITforum.com is still around and still the best community on the web.

As you travel to MMS this year, make it a point to find someone from 1E and Microsoft at the event and thank them.

At the vendor expo, Microsoft will be easy to find (they’ll have the largest space in the expo).  And, you can find out where 1E will be located, as well as, the cool things they’re offering to you at MMS.  Check out what 1E is doing for MMS and you here:  http://www.myitforum.com/mmslive/1emms.htm

Thanks guys!
