Top 10 DevDiv Teams by Answer Rate in September

Congratulations to these teams who have the highest answer rates for questions asked in October!(Forums removed with low traffic rates.)Note:These answer rates have dipped quite a bit since September.One reason for this is because of the increase of questions that we began to see in October as Visual Studio 2005 was available for download, but these numbers are far below our ideal goals for the forums overall.Congratulations to the C++ team—88% is a great answer rate!
