Sure Henry,

Here is the note we got:

----------cut from note--------------
I wanted to let you all know that this site and its offer are indeed
legitimate. I may or may not make mention of it on the WV Team Blog this
week, but wanted to ensure you were all aware of it before doing so.

http://www.powertogether.com/

As this is a program run out of our DPE org (Developer & Partner Evangelism
from within our US subsidiary), I'm not equipped to answer questions on it;
those are best directed to the FAQ at
https://osd.powertogether.com/Contact.aspx.

It was one of the most painful experiences of my life! The presenter for
creating gadgets was very unprofessional. She used Umm and Uhh in every
sentence and seemed unprepared to speak to an audience.

You think that's bad? After watching 5 podcasts, now it no longer will
let me log in as anyone other than "guest". So was all that watching and
waiting and filling out forms in vain?

I thought the title "Technical Evangelist" from the XML webcast was
pretty funny! :)
