Steve Clayton recently asked this question as the partners he’d talked to weren’t running Vista. Now, if he’d asked the Small Business Specialists he would’ve got a totally different reply. Many of us are running Vista and Office 2007 and at the recent Microsoft Small Business Symposia it was apparent that many people were “on board”. Were using it and actively selling it, so it’s time for Microsoft to recognise this. I’m not talking about the Microsoft Small Business Team, they know what we’re doing and have supported and encouraged us. I’m talking about recognition in the wider Microsoft Ecosystem. We’ve run partner events up and down the country with the Small Business Team and the PTS guys. I just saw James Cash is running an executive briefing on Vista and Office 2007, so Microsoft where do you want to put your resources? So at this moment in time if you want Vista and Office 2007 support, where would you go? The correct answer is a Microsoft Small Business Specialist! Nice to be at the cutting edge!
