                    Last year, all the talk at Convergence was about waves of integration for Dynamics. Now, it's all about how the suite fits into the Microsoft stack. But not everything that Microsoft is saying is clear, and some partners are confused about where Dynamics is going.

                    Microsoft Corp. likes to promote Windows Vista as its most secure operating system release ever. And with good reason.
