We’re excited to announce that the Microsoft Tech Community has now surpassed 100,000 community members. To celebrate, we’ve awarded our first 100,000 community members our 100K Milestone Badge. Thank you all for your contributions and for making the Tech Community such an amazing place to connect and learn 

 

Since our launch just over a year ago, we’ve continued to see amazing growth in the community. Our team has enjoyed meeting community members at Microsoft Ignite and Tech Summits. We're continuously working to bring value to the community, so in the last year we've added Community Events, Tech Academy, and Microsoft Ignite and Tech Summit content to the community. In the future, our team is looking forward to making the Microsoft Tech Community even stronger with great content and more ways to connect and get involved. We appreciate you for being a part of our journey! 

  

To celebrate this milestone, we’re awarding an additional badge to those who play the game below and comment on this blog! Comment with your high score, tag your friends to challenge them, or share what you love about the Microsoft Tech Community to earn this badge. Make sure to comment by 12pm PST on Friday, December 8th, 2017 to receive the badge.

Haha ... I started to play ... then it dawned on me that being head of department and playing a game in work time is probably not a good idea, kinda sends the wrong message. Totally tempted by one of the first computer games I ever played.

 

Nice milestone!

@Anna Chu, congratulations and thank you personally and entire team to make this community so great. Despite all negatives we discuss from time to time.

Great milestone!

 

Just recently discovered this community when we started using Microsoft Teams and the other parts of Office 365 more seriously. There are a lot of knowledge here to find and be a part of!
