>>Hi all,
>>
>>I hope someone who is in this program can clarify to me the actual procedure of this program. Recently I have applied and successfully enrolled into this program in the end of Oct. Now I received an email to ask me renew the membership after 1 month. Is it true the membership is on calendar year basis? If this is so, those who apply and successfully get into the program near Oct is pure waste of money?

Hi Renoir,

This information does not said the payment is calendar basis and enrollment to me does not tied to payment. At least, the MS people should talk to us verbally b4 accepting the subsscription payment. I paid full amount on 30th Oct 2001 and proudly announced this to our employees. Now my GM is querying me on this and it does not looks good. I feel cheated by the whole ordeal by big giant "Microsoft"... :(

Regards.
