RedmondReport.com Rocks!

When I look for items to bring you in the Redmond Report newsletters, I have a vast new source of material. It may sound confusing, but RedmondReport.com is our new Web site that brings together Microsoft news from across the Web. We're so committed to this being an open site that we don't even link to our own stories.

Do me a favor -- check out this site and let me know what you like, dislike and how we can make it richer and more satisfying. Impressions can and will be sent to [email protected].
