About me
I'm in the Online Services and Windows consumer group here at Microsoft and my responsibilities include being the community manager for Windows. Basically, that means I have one of the coolest jobs ever. Not only do I get to use and talk about Windows, but I get to see and hear and learn how customers use our products every day. And yes, I really do use the products in my day-to-day work and home life even though my title says "marketing".My interests

My little corner of the interwebs for musings about various Microsoft-related topics -- mostly real-life consumer tips, tricks, and stories about Windows Live.My posts
