Microsoft thrive site should take a dive | The Perimeter

MvT Cracker

"In response to the state of the economic downturn, Microsoft has launched a page on its website designed to help IT professionals. Microsoft Thrive , which is entirely Silverlight-based, has various resources that are divided into three sections: Advance Your Career, Enhance Your Technical Skills, and Align IT with Business. When you first load up the site, a one-minute video rather annoyingly starts playing in the bottom left."

There has been no update or change and I do not find the site to be of any real help the site seems to focus on microsoft resources ONLY and fails to actually provide helpful resources such as Technet How DO I videos or Springboard. If it's not updated to become more "useful" I think it should be removed.
