You see the problem Dave is that people in Microsoft are not articulating the scenarios and opportunities as you do! As you've seen and we've discussed it causes huge problems within the Partner Community. So, how does this get fixed? Do we continue to rely on you or is Microsoft as a whole going to get its act together and start talking in a language that Partners like ourselves can understand and trust?

If S+S is a key strategy by Microsoft then it really needs to up its game on this.

One thing I can say that going forward the SBSC Programme will begin to reflect the above scenarios you have outlined so that Partners will have different routes/specialisations within SBSC. This is one of the things the PALs are going to be contributing to in the coming months and asking for input from the Community.

Thanks for this detailed explanation, it's great stuff!!

If Ballmer or Turner delivered the S+S pitch like this, everyone would be excited and nobody would be pissed.

Job well done Dave!
