      They are offering even more beta testing and product trials from SP. It seems like they are selling their SPs for marketing purposes?

        @IRJ Everythings beta. Continuously. Like Google was with Gmail all those years (and to some extent, it still is).

            Yeah. I have noticed that they are giving bigger prizes away. That is alot cheaper than using their own people to test.

              Is this bet testing their own stuff or on behalf of vendors?

                and to top it off, giving away a $300 camera just to get people to watch vendors webinars? Really, you have to bribe IT people that much just to get business/exposure?

                    Why else would someone voluntarily sit through all of that marketing?

                      That makes sense. They are in the "matchmaker" business quite heavily.

                        valid point, but i still won't even waste my time unless its something I am currently working on. Lure me with an expensive camera to waste my work time, not so much.

                          It's kind of a sensible use of resources.
