Thanks for the post.

Mark is pretty much a "suite" now days anyways. He rarely has time to respond to the average man anymore so being a "FELLOW" at MS will put him where he probably has wanted to be for many years now.

Bryce seems to have remained a bit more on the common mans level and still tries to address issues we all deal with daily. Mark seems to prefer only the "High Visibility" issues that get him more press.

Well I'm sure that really helped their wallets too as their product line has some great stuff but with the down turn in the industry I'm sure it's hard to get as many sales on the big ticket software items.
