The company I work for, Taylor Data Systems, is a Microsoft Certified Partner and a Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner. Microsoft has changed the entire Microsoft Partner Program, for the better I think. I'd like to think we will be able to achieve Microsoft Gold Certified Parter by the end of the year.
One thing that I found was the Microsoft Partner Points Calculator. This is a well designed and implemented Web application for choosing strategies for success.
One thing that wasn't covered in today's Webcast was how the Microsoft Windows Embedded Partner would work now. I can only assume it will remain a seperate program.
