Dear Bart,
Culminis is pleased to offer you and your user group members the opportunity to participate in a very focused Microsoft survey. The questions center around Vista Deployment and Support. Please find this short online survey at: http://survey.culminis.com/takeSurvey.asp?surveyID=14
To encourage you and your members to participate, Microsoft will be giving away four (4) XBox 360 Systems as a reward.
We will randomly draw four user group names from the list of all user groups that submit 10 or more unique completed surveys. The winning user group leaders will be contacted and the prizes will be shipped to the address for that group.
In addition, three (3) user group leaders with the highest percentage of their members participating in the survey will receive an additional prize which you can also use as a prize for your group.
The survey closes at the end of business on June 26th so please notify your membership soon to allow them the most time to participate.
Details
Microsoft continues to strive for a more effective connection with the IT Pro community. The Windows Client team in particular is focused at getting to the heart at how to assist IT Professionals with issues related to the desktop and deployment. They would like to better understand how to support you as a user group leader and, in addition, how to support both you and your members as IT Professionals.
We would like to apologize in advance to those of you whose first language is not English - the cost of providing the survey in all the major languages would have outweighed the original cost of the survey. We would encourage you to take part in the survey if it is at all possible.
