Hey Alex,

In this regard I have to take a page out of Mike Stewart's book and punt. I just test the product; I have nothing to do with marketing. I can say that these folks have just as much passion for the product as you and others do. If not more so.

Evan had a great suggestion: More of you guys should find the time to write articles and educate newbies through user groups. MS can't do everything.

The problem is with the higher-ups in charge of marketing, advertising, newsletter writing, and training their own salespeople. As the only real access to bend an ear or two at Msft, is through you guys, then that is what we try to do.
