My New Years Resolution And Thanks
Well over 5 years ago I joined the nascent BizTalk Server team. One of the reasons I came to Microsoft was because of the wide range of job roles available and yet I was just having too much fun with BizTalk Server to consider moving. Nevertheless, with the SQL/BTS/VS launch complete and WF launched at PDC now is as good a time as any to move and after some extensive research into new roles during December starting Tuesday I'm changing jobs.
My new job will be on the Windows Client Product Planning team. Initially I'll be thinking about the impact of virtualization and thin-client on various aspects of Windows licensing and product strategy post Vista. This role is primarily inbound so I expect I'll disappear off the net for a while but we will see.
Many of you know Michael Woods, who has been on my team for several years, and some of you have met Kris Horrocks. Michael and Kris will continue to carry the flame forward for BizTalk Server. Paul Andrew will continue to carry the flame forward for Workflow.
I've met so many great people and made some fabulous friends during my travels in the last 5 years. I have a ton of very special memories and I'd like to thank you for passion, hospitality and feedback which helped us all do better with each subsequent release of BizTalk Server.
When I get back to work on Tuesday morning I know nothing, I'm in a new space and I have a lot to learn - it should be fun!
Cheers,Scott.

Scott, you've played a very core part in the development of BizTalk. After all these years, it's sad to see you go, but you can go knowing that you've done a Good Thing, and you can be very proud of the product you've helped build. The BizTalk community will miss your passion and energy, but will continue to benefit from the contributions you have made to the product over the years. Best of luck in your new ventures, I'm sure you'll excel there too, and hopefully our paths will cross again.Anonymous

Scott, thank you for bringing such a great product to us.
Could you please explain what this means for the future of BizTalk and, if we try to draw any conclusions from this move, which are the right ones?
Thanks and good luck!

Ouch! Well I have a blog but your point about actually blogging is valid. Kris (http://blogs.msdn.com/krisho/) and I are going to redouble our efforts to live up to the super community of BizTalk developers with and without blogs that Scott has bequeathed us.
(I intend to even try to convince Scott to come back and visit with us every once in awhile and to give us future Alt-Back updates. :^)

Your help and dedication to improving the community with this tool has helped this young developer get his foot in the door to hopefully a long career. I would like to thank you for all your work and wish you best of luck with your new position.

You can't leave! Heck I still have your BizTalk (Wrox) book on my bookshelf. Don't leave a winning team for a losing team. BizTalk Server 2006 will be the best product Microsoft releases in 2006 (Sorry, but the SharePoint team is incompetent and Vista is totally a revenue ploy.)!!
You need to stay on the BizTalk team. Please reconsider.Anonymous
