I agree it was worth it however it would have been nice if the debate
had went on for a while longer, I presume it did in the pub :(

The Microsoft reps seems to really want to listen which is a good sign
that MS knows how to higher the right people, I just hope they can take
something good back from the debate and make changes from it.

Take care - RL
