Microsoft is about to roll out a free presales support option for its army of partners.

The presales support line is in pilot now and will be rolled out in phases. It is slated to be fully available to the 30,000 certified partners in August, Microsoft executives told CRN.

The support is available in China now and will roll out in Europe over the next six months, said Allison Watson, vice president of worldwide Partner sales and marketing at Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft.

Inbound and outbound support will be offered. "We are slipstreaming presales support into the program," Watson said, noting that this is on the top of the partners' wish list for 2004.

Hi everyone,

Our new build (5.0.0337), RC2, is available for your testing enjoyment.

If you got ahold of 335, we recommend uninstalling it before installing 337. As is mentioned on the betaplace website, there is only one very minor difference between the two that very few people are unlikely to run into that has to do with corporate deployments, so you shouldn't feel like you need to move to the new build if you installed 335.

Lots of smaller issues, working on the fit and finish of the product.

We have a very small list of known issues with Windows Messenger 5.0 that are severe enough to warrant changes at this time, so although this isn't the final build it is very close.

Thank you again for your hard work!
