Nick, see my reply to Jim for more information. I suggest that you contact Mike Werner at Microsoft. He is in charge of Developer Relations. I don't have his email, which would be the best way to get hold of him, but you can go through the Microsoft switchboard 425-882-8080 and leave him a voice mail.
