Merry Christmas....yo ho ho greetings from all at Microsoft!

Dear Friend & Business Partner,

I would like to thank you for all your hard work and passion in 2007 – the SharePoint business has seen tremendous growth in the last year at Microsoft and this can be attributed to you our loyal partners. From knowing many of you personally and having worked with all of you I know that our growth has transcended into profitable and sustainable business for you too.

We started the year off with a view to transforming the way our customers looked at Enterprise wide Search and I can successfully say that we have made some huge leaps in the ways that analysts, press and customers see the business we have been growing together. You will have seen these reports on my blog and also the great customers stories on the site we built at the end of May. Stay tuned for news on how you can get involved in the rewrite of the customer facing search site – so do please make sure we know about all of your Enterprise Search wins as they come in! After all don’t forget there is the Enterprise Search Ski Incentive to compete for – Year to date we have over 101 wins around Enterprise Search which is 140% of the target we set ourselves back in July – great healthy competition!

I hope you have a fantastic festive break and I look forward to helping your businesses to grow and prosper even further in 2008, and don’t forget if the Turkey and TV gets a little dull over the holidays – take the afternoon off from the relatives and go and install some more MOSS 2007!

Merry Christmas!

Mike Pallot
