Oh, and for more info on the community scene in the UK you should always go have a look at http://www.sbsbpi.co.uk

Guy,

I can deliver on your 1st and 3rd desire, but number 2 is hard for me as I don't spend my life installing 3rd party products.

However, I do install some and more likely this information will go into the forums unless it is spectacular as it enables a better discuss solution.

On the WW events - I do expect to see some UK small biz partners there, so I do feel I should allow people to know about it - if you want to change the direction or have your voice heard by the MOST senior people - this is the place to do it.

Finally, I now have about 50-60 feeds I read on an almost daily basis, so when I find something worth highlighting, I do so for those who do not know all the other places.

Well, personally, these are the things i'd be interested in:

-UK specific SBS promotions & events

-Cool 3rd party products that you've seen implementented well in an SBS environment. (eg exclaimer.com)

-General goings on in Microsoft UK. Maybe I don't read enough of the UK-based blogs, maybe I've been spoiled by Channel9, but any behind-the-scenes stuff is always interesting. (to me!)

Not so interested in:

-Worldwide Events - I'll probably not travel to another country just to attend a MS event

-Things I can get from other blogs. I read Susan Bradley for general SBS info, her blog is hard to beat. Original SBS news, ideally UK-based would be great for me.

I'm thinking a cross between Susan's blog and The Register(!)

Cheers,

Guy

Guy,

Glad you are enjoying the blog and other information. The idea is to be useful, but tips as to what to do more and less of would be good.

thanks

David

Hi David,

I discovered your blog a couple of weeks ago, thanks to Susan B.

It's nice to have a UK perspective on SBS, especially in terms of upcoming events and promotions. We're an SBS Specialist, and we get so much info from you guys and the MVPs I don't know what we'd do without!

I'm looking forward to coming down to Reading next week for the Office 2007 event. I spent 3 years in Reading, but never once went to the MS Campus.

Keep up the good work,

Guy
