| | User Guide: Getting Started |
 | | The Microsoft Communities Web site provides access to wealth of newsgroups, chats, user groups, tips, and discussions where experts and users who are passionate about Microsoft technologies share their thoughts, help, support, and ideas. |
 | | User Groups are typically independently run, volunteer groups that meet in-person on a regular basis to discuss and share information on a variety of technical topics. |
 | | Participation in a User Group is an excellent, inexpensive way to receive technical content, education and to meet with your peers to get more out of the Microsoft platforms, products, technologies, services and resources which you are interested in. |
