I wasn’t sure at first if it was an April Fools’ day prank, but earlier this evening I’ve got an e-mail from Microsoft congratulating me on my MVP Award . Not that it just fell from the sky—I had been contacted by the nomination team and I knew it might be coming.

After successful Decisions NAV 2009 and Decisions AX 2009 virtual conferences, MSDynamicsWorld.com has went for it once again, this time expanding the conference to cover full range of Microsoft Dynamics products, and merging it into a single event.

“ Eat your own dog food ” —they say around here. If it was always this yummy, I’d do it every day. Yesterday, I’ve got my laptop upgraded to Windows 7 Beta.

I’m not sure about you, but I’ve missed last week’s update to this free download from Microsoft Download Center: Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Developer and IT Pro Help .
