As you can see at David Overton's blog, Microsoft partners will once again be getting the full-install media (as opposed to upgrade) for Windows Vista Business as well as a single license for Windows Vista Ultimate. When Microsoft changed to upgrade media around a year ago, the partner community...

I've spent most of today at the London Hilton attending Microsoft's partner pre-launch for servers & tools. Grace and I were lucky enough to get a front row seat just 6ft away from Bill Gates as he gave the keynote speech and held a Q&A session with Scott Dodds. I don't usually go...

A little while ago, Microsoft wrote to me and asked me to test their latest partner finder solution . If you're a partner, then I'm sure they wrote to you too. Well I tested it, and guess what? It was broken. In fact, it was so completely and utterly broken that it was only finding 5 small business...

Staggering starfish! As reported by Susanne and David , it looks like Microsoft UK is turning words into action at long last, with an out-of-court settlement and more cases in the pipeline.
