Thanks in advance.

Yeah, the thing is, it's a non-profit that has nothing to do with technology, which is why I'm shocked that I got invited. I guess now would be a good time to start that System Building/Repair business that I've been thinking about. :p

Your invitation must not have anything to do with your non-profit organisation. Any MCP administrator could have sent the invitation you. In member control panel a MCP have to register email domains their business uses. MCP can then send an invitation to anybody who's email belongs to any domain they have registered as one they use.

For example I've invited a friend of mine who professionally has nothing to do with IT and/or computers but who knows more about software and programming than anybody I know. I value his opinion, he has often made a comment or observation that has helped me professionally. I had to create him an email in one of my domains and I was able to send an invitation.

Hope this clarifies the issue.

Same here :p.
I guess You can participate in many questionaires and also you can get into Subscriptions which will give you benefits. You get to be a MS certified Partner if you have enough points. Hell of some training is over there with tests, you also can give software solutions to the prg and get points.I'm also a bit confused on what should i really do. :rolleyes:

I wonder if I could sign up LiZi as a company...hm...non-profit Windows Build Compilers...By the time you say that a Microsoft Legal Brigade would be knocking down the doors with Towers and come in with the usual setup of keyboards and mice

Personally I find the Microsoft Action Pack Subscription (MAPS) best part of this MCP system.
MAPS said:

HAHAHA... "So, how'd you get in so good with MS?" "Leaking their products." :p

Yeah, Zidane, seeing as how I live 40 miles from Redmond...I halfway did expect Gates to show up and release Ballmer on me. :D
