I was going to mention about legit second hand.
Yes, really. It wasn't always so, back when other people were in charge
at MS, and the MVP program was much smaller and made up of volunteers
from newsgroups. For at least the past 6 years, it has changed entirely,
with a few notable exceptions. Ken and a few others from the "old guard"
still hang on in the forums solely to help users.
As for MS, they are in it to make a profit, like any company. They
listen to MVPs that work in areas that produce revenue for
them....mainly enterprise. MVPs in areas that deal with home users
mostly find a deaf ear nowadays, if they can find an ear at all.
The opinions expressed here are my own. If I want your opinion I'll
remove the duct tape from your mouth. ;-)
