Speak for yourself...

I am the "gatekeeper" here and my rep is the "keymaster". Together, we decide what is right for my company. I dictate to my fellow c-level execs about what I am going to do and they have no choice but to go along with it. A CFO a few years back questioned my decisions around signing Microsoft contracts with substantial withdrawl penalties. My rep sent me some funds to hire some MCSE contractors who helped me disconnect this CFO from the network. He was unable to do his job at all and he eventually quit. The next CFO knew what was good for him and never spoke to me. Longhorn will be deployed here during the Beta 2 time frame. I have committed to this and promised my rep.
