MEA MVPs open days 1

Really so nice to stay with experts to eat with experts to laugh with experts to go with experts to attend session by experts with experts to know experts at first, thanks Mohamed Wahby (Academic Developer Evangelist Microsoft Egypt) for your kind invitation to attend such an event.

2 days ago were from the best days in my life, I knew new people, I took new experience, I filled by enthusiasm to be better whatever I am.

Let's story from the beginning, I attended MEA MVPs open days, which an event held every year to MEA (Middle East and Africa) Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional)s

I attended technical sessions about BizTalk, Community Think, and SQL Server 2008 (new features which is going to be released in CTP 4) I'll talk about each session in our technical blog FCI-H we went to pyramids and Khan El-Khalily and spent a very nice time.

I am Murderer - Microsoft Strategy

I killed my mouse to not torture me more than that :'( really it did, but as I am soo lazy and didn't go to buy a new one, I deserve more than that.

Microsoft mouse is the best, I love it, but last time when it stopped working I got stupid one -the victim-

hummm, Let me tell you one reason of many which makes me adore Microsoft, they feedback then create, 2 days ago Jennifer Perret (Worldwide Microsoft Student Partners Lead) asked us for providing her with all features we need in Online Email Products like Windows Live Hotmail you can tell me if you want some features to be existing in the next versions I am supposed to be the link between you and Microsoft, and I’ll trust me :)

They are not keen on innovating X features users don't use, they want to brainstorm every customer as they can to actually get what they need to give them a product make a difference in their life, what I saw from Microsoft strategy supports my words, Microsoft respects all its customers, if you need specific feature(s) in specific product go to its forum talk with its makers, you got a bug; report it (don't just complain) if you tell them about something they will take it seriously, what carry them to underestimate your feedback??! As they know if you don’t like it you won’t pay for it.

Scrutinize I said “won’t pay for it” not “buy it” yes Microsoft first let you try the product and then pay. Don’t tell me they don’t do that Windows 2000 days, we talk now in 20/10/07.

Let me show you what Jennifer Perret sent:
