Charles Weaver, president of the MSPAlliance, is this week's guest on the Partner News Podcast. He tells us how managed service providers (MSPs) can get more out of their vendors' partner programs and differentiate themselves in an increasingly crowded market. The SearchITChannel.com staff also talks about the delayed release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) and what customer resistance to Windows Vista means for Microsoft partners, as well as new services opportunities for Hewlett-Packard partners.
