Microsoft Purview Sensitivity Labels: Sensitivity label grouping modernization coming this fall (?)

MVP 2017-2018

Microsoft moved their renewal cycle from having re rewards every quarter to renew all existing MVPs at the same time (July 1st). Mine used to be April 1, and many of my friends were wondering if my MVP status was just another April fools joke. At least the very first time.

Thank you to the MVP team at Microsoft, and congratualtions to all new and renewed MVP's
