Welcome to ESP Insider!

If you’re reading this, then chances are good that you’ve already heard about Microsoft ESP and visited our new Web site. We believe that ESP is poised to revolutionize how people in all different fields learn, research, train, plan, and prepare. Thank you for your interest!
Our newly updated site has a new design that we feel does a much better job of conveying what ESP is all about, and what you can do with it. You’ll find videos, images, and a much easier way to locate an ESP reseller. The site will grow over time, and it’s your best source of information about the product itself: what it is, how to get it, and why you’d want to.
A wealth of information about using Microsoft ESP can be found in the Microsoft ESP Developer Center on MSDN. If you’re a developer, this is the place to go to connect with other people building solutions on ESP. You’ll find helpful articles, code samples, a developer blog, and a forum.
All that said, we’ve heard that people want to better understand our vision. Where do we see simulation going over the next decade? What role do we see ESP playing? While Microsoft is a big global corporation, our corner of it is filled with people who are as passionate about the future of this industry as you are. In this blog, we’ll share our thoughts about the future and give you an ongoing inside look at what we’re up to here in Redmond.
Most importantly, we want to hear your thoughts and experiences with ESP. What’s your vision of the future? How do you think ESP will or won’t help us all get there? Are there things you don’t understand about what we’re doing, or why? Are there things you wish we were thinking about, but don’t appear to be?
Here’s your chance to speak up and engage in some conversation with us. Leave comments and feedback on our posts, and share your favorite posts with others by clicking the “Share this” link.
It was a wild ride getting ESP 1.0 out the door last year, and we’re already all hard at work on v2. We’re taking all the feedback we’ve gotten from partners, customers, and the simulation community and working to build a platform that serves even more of your needs.
So, consider the ESP Insider blog officially launched. Drop us a line. Come back and visit us regularly. Better yet, subscribe to our RSS feed so that new posts come directly to you. We’re looking forward to seeing what this blog evolves into, and thank you for joining us on our journey toward the future of simulation!
