Chats

From the June 2002 issue of the I/O Port Newsletter

Microsoft is offering a series of chats with their Product Managers. The purpose of these chats is NOT to resolve technical support questions, but rather provide input to the Product Managers about features users want to see implemented.

As Microsoft says: "User Group members are welcome to ask questions about how the products are developed and provide feedback about features they might like to see in the future. (To keep the discussion general interest, no technical support questions, please.)"

These chats will be on the fourth Monday of every month at 6 p.m. Central Time.
