Michael was always at the front of the room asking questions. He really knew his stuff and the vendors always appreciated that. In addition he was an exceedingly nice person who raised a great family and at the end of the day that matters more than his skills as an analyst.
Michael will be missed. It was a pleasure to work with him in the industry for three decades. Remembering Analyst Michael Howard | Light Reading lightreading.com/nfv/remembe… via @Light_Reading
