The Thrive site is exactly what I have been looking for. I'm an IT Pro who has learned everything on the job, I have no formal training. My current position is secure for now but you never know. I want to start working towards getting my certification in case I need to change jobs.

The Thrive site is very helpful to get some idea of the path to take from learning to training to testing to certification. If you don't have any experience with certification, the process can be very confusing.

I'm sure most of this information was floating around Microsoft's web sites before, but it's very helpful to have it consolidated in one place.

Thanks for the great information. I'm looking forward to the updates.

I think if MS ever made a move in the direction of letting Keith go the community would have to send a large petition to Ballmers desk or something.

Oh and the fact that he doesnt cheer for Green Bay is a plus in my book. :D

Keith, your one of the best hires and interviews I've ever had the privilege of being part of.

As y'all know, he's simply one of the best IT Pro Evangelists this company (or any other) has ever seen. Those who read him here and those fortunate enough to see him speak in person will agree. I can confirm that Keith is truly YOUR advocate inside Microsoft, and he always has the customer's concerns as the basis for his discussions. Internally, we look to Keith as a thought leader with regarding to emerging technologies and trends! Thanks for all you do Mr. Combs. Now if we can just convince you to cheer for Green Bay.
