To be honest, when i first came to microsoft i expected alot of resources, but wow the number of resources here is huge, more than i could ever have imaged. Before i came here i used to be surfing the internet almost a minimum of 3 - 4 hours a day, reading news, articles, chatting, technical discussions&amp;nbsp;etc.. but now it is like i spend almost all my time on the intranet, it is very rare when i need to get on the internet to grab any information, mostly just to keep in touch with the outside world :)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The amount of resources available to you here is unimaginable, you got all kind of information i won't be able to say what of course but lets say anything that gets in your mind related to your job, career, work, market research just anything. I love it just being around those resources it has been almost 45 days here and i feel like a newbie to alot of things around me. Anyway what will this blog be about, mmm well to start with&amp;nbsp;it is going to be mainly about tech discussions that i find interesting, and also program / project management principals and the experiences i learn from my role as a program manager. Finally, i might be speaking about life at MS a couple of times, and what makes it different being part of&amp;nbsp;MSFT, what makes it unique, and what makes me wanna get up each morning and get to my job to make a real difference !&lt;/P&gt;
