Drupal embraced by Microsoft

You know you've picked a winner when it's embraced by the largest software services company in the world. Not only was Microsoft a Platinum Sponsor of this year's DrupalCon, but they announced that they were releasing a SQL Server Driver for PHP as well as that they have been working with the Commerce Guys on creating a Drupal 7-specific driver for SQL Server. This is a huge depature for a company that has it's own product (.ASP) competing in the same space.
Drupal is a fantastic open source social publishing system with features that allow users to create every kind of website imaginable. Drupal now runs great on the Microsoft Web Platform. Microsoft is teaming up with the Drupal Community to provide even more power and features to Drupal. Check out all the great things being created by the Drupal Community on the Microsoft Web Platform. - http://www.microsoft.com/web/drupal/
If I haven't mentioned this before... Open Source rules!

Accolades

Stan Holman, IAIA Conference Coordinator
"You did a great job. I was very grateful to have you on the team. I realized quickly that you had strong artistic and creative abilities when I saw the early versions of the conference theme video. I soon came to appreciate the depth of your technical knowledge and ability to handle a more mundane task such as handling large numbers of documents, as a very important contribution to the conference effort. In addition, I would like to complement you on the professionalism of your manner and the ease with which you developed good working relationships with other team members."
