Microsoft News That Goes Beyond the Partner World

Apologies for those who've been wondering why I haven't blogged in a while. It's those darn salary surveys! Just finished giving my take on Microsoft Partner salaries, which you'll find in the upcoming August issue of Redmond Channel Partner, so keep an eye out for it. The Redmond Magazine Reader Salary Survey (as well as an MCPmag.com version) will see daylight in September.

I did want to alert you to some important coverage from Redmond Channel Partner Ed-in-chief Scott Bekker, who's been keeping busy in New Orleans. He's been writing all the news that's of interest coming from Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, which you can find here. Even though the info is spun with Microsoft Partners in mind, you'll find nuggets of information to clue you in to where Microsoft is headed in the next year with its long slate of technology releases.

What affects its partners filters out the enterprise in a big way, and there are some changes afoot, including a major name change and redo of the Microsoft Partner Program and a roadmap of its product releases. It was at the show that Microsoft also released big news regarding its certification programs, if you're interested. Check it out at the link above.
