Is that all I need to know? Which companies were present? Was any big company absent? What was discussed? Was there any debate, or just presentations Microsoft? What was there supposed to happen? Can you analyse the phrase you wrote "Microsoft’s partner program is showing no signs of a slowdown", or it's only that, and you can really be sure of it based only on a Microsoft-sponsored meeting? Some criticism, please. As it is, this report could have been summarized in just one line. Truly good journalism not only describes, but explains.

Can you analyse the phrase you wrote “Microsoft’s partner program is showing no signs of a slowdown”, or it’s only that, and you can really be sure of it based only on a Microsoft-sponsored meeting?

Some criticism, please.
