I mentioned in a previous post about signing up for the Microsoft Empowerment program. At the time, they mentioned it may take a while to hear from them. I figured I'd get at least a "hey, we got your application, thanks" e-mail. So far, not a thing. It's not really clear on how (if?) I can even check the status on this.

This was the original signup link: https://partner.microsoft.com/40011351 (strange, my original post should have had this link as well - I wonder where it go lost).

I just checked it again and they mention that the site is undergoing maintenance from 11/8 - 11/30. Great - I wonder if my application ended up in a black hole. I was really hoping to have the licenses taken care of by now, since some of my MS software demos are about to expire.
