SMB Symposium Big Announcement: PALs

So the big WWPC SMB Symposium announcement of the year, straight from Lynnette Eastlake:

We are announcing SBSC PAL: Partner Area Leader. These folks are honorary one-year term people with access to the highest executives at Microsoft, representing the SBSC community needs and opinions to Microsoft executives and partner program.

You already know some of them. Mark Crall, Stewart Crawford, Dean Calvert, Dieter, Vijay and few others. Now that its official I am sure they will be blogging in more detail what they can do for us all, I am personally holding Mark responsible for all my Microsoft partner channel needs
