Where in the World Are Microsoft's Partners?

The Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference starts next week in Toronto -- marking the first time in many years that the global gathering is being held outside the United States (though not far outside).

Having recently completed an extensive, worldwide search of the Microsoft Pinpoint directory of partners for our "most competent" partners list, we thought it might be a good time to show where in the world Microsoft's partners are.

What follows are the 25 countries with the most company listings in the Microsoft Pinpoint directory. Data was captured on May 18.
