    MS Partners, do you want to get paid for what you sell?

    As Microsoft plans it continued rollout of Software + Services (S+S) there are some details that still need to be clarified.  An important one to MS Partners is how we get paid.  While the standard comp structure for Microsoft’s Online Services (SaaS) has been settled upon, they have not made final decisions on how they will comp for some of the S+S like when you (or your customer) purchases a subscription and subsequent renewal for their OneCare or Forfront subscription from a trial version included in Small Business Server 2008 or Essential Business Server.  While here are WPC talking with the softies whom influence those decisions worldwide, there seems to be a difference of opinions between the World Wide Partner Group and the Product Teams as to what will modivate us to sell.  I told them I would poll the community so you could help them decide thus the reason for this blog and linked survey.  If you are an MS Partner and plan to sell ANY SBS or EBS 2008 then you either need to help me help them decide what we need/want by answering this very short survey.  I will use the results for a meeting next week in Redmond where I will cash in on some of my SBSC PAL juice card and ensure your best interests are made know to the powers that be.
