Right now, the staff at Microsoft Press is working hard on our next crop of books. Your feedback will help us make them as informative, insightful, and useful as they can be. Be assured that we read and consider (and sometimes have lively arguments about) every response. And it?s quick; estimated time to complete the survey is 8 minutes.
You?ll be happy to know this survey doesn?t request any personal information, but unfortunately that means we can?t reply directly to you.
Looking for sweepstakes info? We?re sorry, but the Microsoft Books Survey Sweepstakes for the U.S. and Canada ended April 1, 2009, at 12:01 AM PT.
