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. -Rob -- GPG key available at: <http://www.robertcollins.net/keys.txt>.
