I really don't think that that is how it will pan out. The folk being
proposed to visit are what, 10? 20? reporting levels down from the
leaders of the company.

I can think of few things in the IT sector less interesting to me than a
visit from a MS marketroid. Get a MS leader in the door, and thats a
different thing.
