Hello all,

I promise not to bother you all too much with this, but the SBS Community
Survey is really important. We really want to hear from as many people from
the SBS Community as we can. Please take a few minutes and go take the
survey if you haven't already. The information to connect to the survey is
below. You can also hit my blog for the information to the survey. I will be
sharing the results from the survey on my blog as well.

Thanks,

Kevin Beares
SBS Community Lead

This survey is brought to you by the SBS Product team.
As you know, the SBS product team tries to do anything it can to support the
community in any way that it can. Our only hope is that from the information
we get from this survey that we will have a better understanding of where
the Windows SBS Product group should concentrate it's efforts in engaging
and listening to the Windows SBS user community.

If you haven't already seen the links to this survey out on the official
SBS Blog or Susan Bradley's blog or Nick Whittome's blog or Sean Daniel's
blog or my blog..., I wanted everyone to take a few minutes to take this
community
survey and also promote this community survey to the SBS Community. I am
depending on your all to help me to virally spread the word about this SBS
Community Survey. This is a great chance to get the SBS Community involved
in setting the direction of the SBS Community.

The Small Business Server Product Team would like to hear from the SBS
User Community. This direct anonymous survey of the SBS User Community is
brought to you by the SBS Product Team.

You are invited to participate in the Windows Small Business Server
Community program on the Microsoft Connect Web site at
http://connect.Microsoft.com. This Site has been set up to directly gather
feedback anonymously from the SBS User Community.

Your role in the SBS Community is important to us. Microsoft Connect
enables you to connect with Microsoft developers, product managers, and
other development team members to help us make our products the best they
can be.

To accept this invitation and become a member of this program, please
follow these steps:

1) Use your Internet connection to visit our Web site at
http://connect.microsoft.com.
2) Click on "Invitations" on the left-side menu.
3) You will need to sign in using a valid Passport and before you can
continue to the "Invitations" page.
4) Enter your Invitation ID in the blank.
Your invitation ID is: COMM-GKXK-WJKV
5) Click "Go."
6) If you have not previously registered with Microsoft Connect, you may
be required to register before continuing with the invitation process.
This a light registration and we will not use any information that you
provide to contact you later unless you tell us otherwise.

Now, please follow the steps shown to you by that program to become an
active participant. Once you complete the steps, you will be automatically
approved. From that point forward you should be able to log into this site
using your passport account and take any surveys that are available to
you.

A note about the survey being anonymous; We only use the passport account
to insure that we do not receive spam. While we are collecting basic
information that you provide during the light registration, we are not
using this information for any purpose except to meet the minimum
requirements that MS Connect requires to run this survey. The MS Connect
site uses Passport which requires us to do the minimal registration
process. Your comments and survey appear anonymous to as well.

Here is the link to the survey: SBS Community Survey. You will find this
link on the main page of the http://connect.microsoft.com site once you have
registered under Small
Business Server Community Site.

Thanks a lot,
