List of Microsoft virtualization experts to follow

At the previous VMWorld conference, Microsoft organized a prize game, even for those who are not attending the conference. All those who wanted to participate only needed to follow any of their virtualization experts on Twitter, and every day Microsoft randomly chose lucky winner of ZuneHD. I am very pleasantly surprised to see Microsoft employees tweeting about events at VMWorld, and engaging in discussions with their followers. And they were, as always, writing posts on their blogs, so we had “live coverage” from the conference . So here is the list of Microsoft virtualization experts that have Twitter accounts.
