  1. I ran into your post by chance while searching for MS announcement about the day. Nice one, though I had a couple of notes to say:

    -Samy is not working for ITworx anymore, it's iSource now..

    -The white t-shirts were for MSPs from all over Egypt not just ASU.. As a matter of fact there's nothing called "Ain Shams University group"..

    Finally, thanks for the links you listed..
