I've set up an MSN Community to support my Visual Basic programming class in
the fall,
and, to introduce it to my students, I plan to do an overview presentation
on it.
I'll make this presentation available to you as well when it is ready.  That
should
give you the picture that you cannot get without going to some extra effort.

My trip report from Tech-Ed 2000 should also be released soon.  While it
does not
talk at all about the MSN Communities, it does talk a lot about the
technologies
behind them and the various directions throughout the major industries
(General Motors,
GE, Boeing, etc).  Part of what is holding it up is a set of complete
transcripts to
Bill Gates' speeches at the world-wide Government Leaders conference and the
Fortune 2000 CEO conference.

Richard:

I have a very strong dislike for monopolies (and attempts to
gain a monopoly), both vertical and horizontal, so I have
stayed away from your Microsoft sponsored "community" until
now.

I decided to have a look, but this is what I get to see:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                          Unsupported Browser Warning (p1 of
2)

                                    Warning

   The Web browser you are using may have trouble displaying this Web
   site.
     * Some features may not work correctly.
     * Web pages may not display properly.
     * You may see frequent error messages.
     * In extreme cases, your browser or computer may stop functioning.

              Ignore this warning and proceed at your own risk

   For the best experience, we recommend that you use Microsoft Internet

   You can download the latest version of Internet Explorer for free from
   http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.htm.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And when I choose "Ignore this warning and proceed at your
own risk", they just return me to the very same page, so I
would appreciate it, if you could send me, or maybe all of
Team Ada, a summary of the benefits of the system (besides
getting rid of me).

Greetings,

Jacob
