Editor's Note: Convergence Coverage this Week

RCPU will be in Orlando, America's capital of culture and sophistication, this week for Microsoft's Convergence conference. So, instead of breaking up our newsletter coverage the way we've been doing it since January -- industry news on Tuesday, product news on Wednesday and channel news on Thursday, with a general rant leading off each day's edition -- we'll be bringing you all Convergence, all the time on Wednesday and Thursday.

Check back for updates on everything that's going on in the Microsoft Dynamics universe, along with snarky rants about the vapid atmosphere of central Florida (although we won't likely complain about the weather). It'll be a fun time for all!
