Feedback
Nico (managed customer): Cool. Very good. Thank you, looks very interesting. Maybe I will allude to this in my next article or in an webcast… I’m working for T-Systems right now and I have shown around this page with all that nice samples…Good Job. I already found some things that are interesting for me (for private projects and for my customers)… If you have other interesting things, just tell me…I like every information from Microsoft!
