&lt;p&gt;I sure can help - visit this link: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/partners/vhdpartners.mspx"&gt;http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/virtualserver/partners/vhdpartners.mspx&lt;/a&gt; and about half way down the page is a link for Partners to participate in the program. &amp;nbsp;All you have to do is sign an agreement - To participate in this program, send an email to vhdinfo@microsoft.com and ask for a copy of the agreement to be signed and returned to Microsoft.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope that helps!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Matt&lt;/p&gt;
