Well done.
Only correction: Turn = U (as in U-turn) and Neutral = N
The rest is spot on, so over to you for tomorrow.

Yeah, the plain text code block usually does the trick for that kind of thing.

Quote: We would like to invite you to become a member of the Microsoft Partner Research Panel (MSPRP). This panel, run by MDC Research on behalf of Microsoft, has been helping Microsoft Partners’ voices be heard for over a decade. The panel is composed of a select number of Microsoft Partners, like you, who have agreed to offer their thoughts and opinions regarding Microsoft Partner Network offerings and other Microsoft programs. As a member of this community, you will receive periodic invitations to participate in a wide variety of research studies.
Do you have any experience of the seriousness of this?

I imagine the ribbon bar and the new Skype UI came out of a panel like the one you have been invited to 
Personally I would avoid it like the plague unless you like sitting on committees in which case it will probably be heaven

Um. I had a quick look ... Help us continue to improve: Join the MSPRP - Microsoft Partner Network[^]
What worries me is the intro: Microsoft wrote: As you know, our team truly appreciates your feedback, and we’re always working to open up more channels of communication with you. Your insights help us improve our solutions and – just as important – be better partners for you.
If that's the feedback channel they listen to (instead of beta testers and users, whom they traditionally ignore) then you'll be in a group composed of Vista and Windows 8.0 fans who love the Ribbon and SHOUTY MENUS ... your choice.

I got invited to something similar at one point (not Microsoft though). I didn't like the non-compete/NDA stuff they wanted me to sign. Probably worth reading the terms and conditions before you accept.

No, no experience of any sort with it. I would have two concerns : how much time will this require and are NDAs to sign. I would not be willing to spend much time at all and I would refuse to sign a NDA.
That's just me though. For all I know, you might have no problems with either of those.
