Bob,

Do I have to join the DL to post? It's just a little difficult to join
every DL I am communicating with.
Thanks,
Michael
Here's what I want to post:
===========================
I am a program manager at Microsoft doing some research around how we
can improve our operating systems. My goal is to help us identify
capabilities, improvements, and features that Microsoft should be
focusing on to help our customers over the next 5 years or so.
I am particularly interested in hearing from Linux users, and get their
input about what they feel should be the priorities. In particular, I
would like to better understand what it is that makes Linux and Open
Source solutions so useful for you.
If you would be willing to take a survey I have put together, please
write me at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks,
Michael Surkan

However, depending on how you broach the subject, you may get some

should be focusing on to help our customers over the next 5 years or
   

so.

I was wondering if you would mind if I posted a message on your Linux
mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) asking for feedback? I want to
   

ask
 

for people to e-mail me directly if they would be interested in taking
an on-line survey I have put together (sorry, I don't want to post the
survey URL directly to the public).


If you don't feel this is an appropriate use of your list, that's
   

fine.
 

Of course, I am always eager to hear your thoughts if you wanted to
share them. :-)


Thanks,

Michael Surkan



P.S. If it's ok for me to post to your distribution list, what is the
best way I should do that? Is there an e-mail address you recommend I
use?
