To quote MS
.... Microsoft's MVPs are recognized, credible, and accessible individuals
with expertise in one or more Microsoft products who actively participate in
online and offline communities to share their knowledge and expertise with
other Microsoft customers...
MS recognize many such individuals with the MVP award. It is an
accreditation by MS, not something than can be acquired by taking a course
or whatever. MVPs are not employed by MS, they do not get paid by MS, but
they do have particular access channels to MS and teams within MS to provide
feedback and to participate in various internal MS programmes.
MS MVPs should not be confused with other MVPs. Some forums, such as
Brainbecnch, have their own MVP award scheme.
So, whilst a response by someone who signs themselves as an MS MVP, assuming
that they are responding within their field of expertise, is an assurance
that that person has far greater skills than the average user, and spends
considerable time and effort in sharing that skill and knowledge, it is not
a guarantee of accuracy.
