MCP Magazine is lining up an interview with the feisty and always outspoken Microsoft president and CEO Steve Ballmer. But instead of a roomful of journalists scratching their heads and coming up with a bunch of me-too questions, we thought we’d turn that job over to the real experts—experts like you!

What issues are of deep concern to the Microsoft IT professional community? Feel free to ask about product directions, hackers, training, the value of certifications, spam, Linux, what it’s like to work at the world's largest independent software company, what is Bill Gates really like?

Send your questions, along with your name, title and company to doug.barney@mcpmag.com. And while you’re at it, feel free to tell us what you like and don’t like about magazine, newsletters, and Web site.
