I understand the practicalities of having to collect information necessary to hold a conference but why the need for peoples' physical addresses? <BR/>In addition why is MS and this PR firm being very hush hush about this? A lot more clarification is required.<BR/>Ramon, thanks for spreading the word.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704903776670423286.post-10251411571180174512008-09-04T09:03:00.000+03:002008-09-04T09:03:00.000+03:00Fitness Diva thanks !Please visit http://www.kenya...Fitness Diva thanks !Please visit http://www.kenyaunlimited.com , and click on latest post to get the best of Kenyan blogsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704903776670423286.post-9142827361880687862008-09-04T02:25:00.000+03:002008-09-04T02:25:00.000+03:00It's cool to know that there is a large group of K...It's cool to know that there is a large group of Kenyan bloggers on the net!

Can you post for us a link to official communication from Microsoft? Or a contact that we can verify this? Also why are you the one collecting this information? Why wouldn't Microsoft put up a registration site? What relevance is phone number and physical address? Why 'more information later'? How do we know you're not harvesting contacts for a targeted 'email marketing campaign?' Table the information up front.
