What is Touchdown?
Touchdown is a worldwide early adoption program for ISV partners; Windows Server “Longhorn” is one of the three new technologies that we’re focusing on during the FY07 time frame. For Windows Server “Longhorn” Touchdown, there are approximately 2,500 ISVs who will participate in a number of in-depth trainings/HOLs during a four-month timeframe (January to April, 2007). Microsoft is counting on our network of qualified Regional Directors and trainers to ensure that our partners have a quality experience and receive the insight and support they need to develop their applications on our platform. This is why we’re investing a significant amount of time, resources, and funding to develop your skills and build a strong “community” of Windows Server “Longhorn” trainers who will allow us to scale out our program across the globe.

What is a Windows Server “Longhorn” Touchdown Trainer Airlift?
This 4-day session will provide approved Windows Server “Longhorn” trainers support & information needed to go out into the field and train our ISV partners. The Windows Server “Longhorn” Touchdown Trainer Airlift will also enable you to receive the guidance and the tools you need to execute future training events on your own.

Windows Server “Longhorn” subject matter experts and leaders from the Microsoft Developer & Platform Evangelism group will present the 4-day session as well as create an open forum for you to network with other Windows Server “Longhorn” trainers from within your region.
