I know that but critical mass is caused by people hanging out there.  Please
at least be there to help us achieve critical mass.

>> Hi all

>> We (my employer and I) don't want to spend money on the "MS exam circus"

>> the ROI is zero. Thus, our official Small Business Specialist status
>> will be lost (and our clients don't care as they hardly knew that
>> anyway). No big deal.
>>
>> However, that status have the additional benefit that combined with
>> the Action Pack Subscription (where the ROI is huge) you are offered
>> Visual Studio Standard 2005 for free. So no SB partner => no free VS
>> which is bad now that VS2008 is close.
>>
>> But a new free add-on to the Action Pack is now announced which could
>> be of interest for those of you not having Visual Studio yet or have
>> felt the limitations of the free Express editions, a "special edition
>> toolkit" for Web Solution Providers:
>>
>> https://partner.microsoft.com/webresourcekit
>>
>> It includes Microsoft Visual Studio Standard 2008 and Expression Studio.
>> The estimated ship date for the kit is January 2008.
>>
>> One of the steps to obtain the kit is to:
>>
>>  Successfully complete one of three free online courses and the
>> associated assessment with a score of 70 percent or higher ..
>>
>> These seems to have a duration from 0,5 to 1,5 hours, so you have to
>> pay by spending some of your valuable time!
