I'm sure there were goalposts around here somewhere...

Between us submitting Impressions for testing and receiving the results (expected in the next few days) Microsoft have extended the older, easier membership requirements for the Microsoft Certified Partnership scheme for an additional year.

On the plus side, we need have absolutely no concerns about continuing our membership, we keep everything we've learned on this project and the app itself will still be useful to us in future. Getting the logo will still be a good thing. On the minus side, we could have sweated a bit less over it if only they'd changed their minds a bit sooner. Grrr.
