Don't read too much into it. Anyone can be a MS partner. All you need do is apply.
There are levels of partner that cost from nothing to 1000's of dollars.
No-one is refused. It's money in the bank as far as MS in concerned. Membership fees and partner level fees, in exchange for marketing materials and training.
Anyone on this board can be a MS partner

khillo, re: MSDN

Awesome find! I actually spent a lot of time searching MSFT sites last night , hoping to turn up something tangible like that, but came up blank.

The next big question is, will MSFT bundle any Wave software or integrate any Wave IP with Windows/Longhorn/NGSCB?

The implications of your find are clear. At minimum, MSFT will aid in pushing the Wave CSP to the desktop, just as Dell will...what remains unknown is whether, and to what degree, Wave CSP and Windows will become intertwined at some point in the near future. (Although, one could easily guess at that...)

Thanks for the great DD work!

Great sleuthing!

It is most interesting to see a link from a MSFT page to Wave's CSP.

It must mean something!
