Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Here in the USA the holiday is a day of food, football and giving thanks.
The Gnome would like to take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone who has helped to get him around the world, and thanks to everyone who has attended an event.
Bootable usb flash drive
In Redmond for the SMBMVPtour and one of the things that we talked about was how you can build your operating system from a usb flash drive.

Getting my game on for the road
Here I am getting my laptop ready for the upcoming road tour.
I’m really looking forward to hitting the road soon and talking to partners about the SMB solutions that we have available to us this year. So far the one that a lot of partners don’t realize is out there is MultiPoint. I’m tempted to change my hat from a single point to a Multi -point hat (get it?) just to reinforce how cool this platform is for being a turn key remote desktop solution that fits well in the SMB space.
In fact if you plan to be down at the Worldwide partner conference in Los Angeles, Dean Paron, Grand Poobah Uber Dude in charge of MultiPoint will be in the house to showcase how cool this is.
You can find him at the Expo Theater in LA showcasing MultiPoint.

Are you a SMB User group leader?
If you are, and if you are on the SBSGroupsleads listserve you got an email from Jeff Middleton kicking off the USA organization for the MVPTour.
If you didn’t get that email, make sure you are on that listserve. If you are a SMBusergroup leader and are not on that listserve…why aren’t you on that listserve?
There will be a live meeting tomorrow at 3 p.m to go over registration to get a tour stopping in your area. If you miss it, don’t worry there’s another one next week.
You can email my personal assistant, Susan at susan-at-msmvps.com for directions on how to sign up.
Keep a look out, I may be in your neighborhood next!
Sincerely, the SMB MVP tour gnome.
