I was skeptical of Microsoft offering online services. Back in April, My buddy Andrew brought the online services offering to my attention at an IAMCP board meeting, and his fear of the offering caused me to dig in. With some help from my friends at Microsoft, I got connected to the hosting community folks, and I’m now representing these services as if they are my own. Wow.
Anyway. I’m a believer. I’ve provisioned myself a full blown business, and I’m loving it. There are stated limitations to the platform, such as you can’t do custom web parts, but there’s definitely enough capabilities there to make it worthwhile for businesses to start to look into this. Heck, for the price, we’re considering it just for the Exchange piece.
