MTS Survey

Welcome and thank you for participating in the Microsoft® Transaction Server (MTS) survey. The PerfMon utility is no longer offered by Xtremesoft, having been superseded by our new product, AppMetrics for Transactions.

If you do complete the survey, we will:

• add your name to our next handheld computer drawing

and offer you

• an on-line demo of our AppMetrics for Transactions product

This survey, in part, helps us to understand the general usage of MTS (which helps to mold our products) and to provide you with consolidated data, on-line, as we garner sufficient relevant information.

Of course, all of your answers will be kept confidential and will be compiled with all survey results for aggregate and statistical analysis purposes only.

Thank you again for participating in this survey.
