Executive Briefings More Broadly Available

Executive briefings are available to a broader set of enterprise customers and partners in 2009 than in prior years. A series of meetings over one or two days, executive briefings are delivered at Microsoft’s corporate headquarters in Redmond, at a number of regional centers, and more recently, as part of traveling road shows hosted at facilities near key customers.
