I and select members of the Vista RTM Lab attendees were invited to a Microsoft Featured Communities-only lunch with Jim Allchin, Group Vice-President of the Client Division at Microsoft.

And got a surprise from him:

A Thank You award for our assistance in beta-testing Vista™

To say that I am overwhelmed by all this is a great understatement!

On behalf of Logikworx, SmallBizVista.com, The SmallBizVista Informer, AbsoluteVista.com, the Interlocutor, and all our clients, I gladly and humbly accepted it.

To crown it all, as Michael Reyes, Sandi Hardmeier, Mauricio Freitas, and I were leaving the restaurant after lunch in order to catch the monorail to the Las Vegas Convention Center, we were fortunate enough to get our rather pedestrian mode of conveyance changed to a limousine. Niiice!
