Microsoft to create SVP award

With all this talk about MVPs lately, I wanted to add my comedic 2 cents

The Microsoft SVP (somewhat valuable professional) Program is a worldwide award and recognition program that strives to identify amazing individuals around the globe who share a passion for technology and the spirit of hard work. Microsoft SVPs are recognized for both their demonstrated practical expertise and willingness to work hard to increase the licensing of Microsoft technologies.

Who are Microsoft SVPs?
Microsoft SVPs are a diverse group of individuals who are:

  • Recognized: They are acknowledged by their customers and also by Microsoft for their active participation in economic advancement for Microsoft stock holders through the constant development of great products based on Microsoft technologies
  • Credible: They have demonstrated practical expertise providing the highest quality information and content.
  • Accessible: They are available to any company who can afford them.

Why was this program created?
After much internal discussion regarding the Microsoft MVP program, management realized that these people while being excellent in certain areas where spending far too much time writing blog entries, responding to forum questions and creating little community web sites. Since we at Microsoft are a public traded company and shareholder value is what truly matters, we came to realize that while MVPs are quite an asset, they are obviously not doing any real work (read: making any money)! Hence we created the SVP program to idolize all those people who are in many ways the best developers in the lot, they would just rather make money than spend time hearing themselves speak. Granted, these tireless professionals sometimes appear in forums and write blog entries, they sometimes give speeches but for the most part they are the quiet force that cause our sales to grow year over year at double digit percentages. It is these brilliant capitalists that afford us all the trappings of the 'good life' and to them we say thanks...you are truly somewhat valuable professionals!

  • That's pretty damn funny.

  • Now that's good. A little after April 1, but still timely. :)

  • Jason Dunn : the worst MVP of them all and owner of www.pocketpcthoughts.com. He forbids his editors to post links to some websites, whose webmasters he personally doesn´t like - no matter how valuable content these websites have. He is one of the biggest liars around. Has a team of Canadian friends that scan the newsgroups and other web pages and steals the content, changes a few words and claims he found it. Will not listen to anyone, always claims he is correct, has way too large an ego for his brains and knows very little about Pocket PC´s other then 99% of his web pages is written by others, but he claims credit. Comes across as "your good Christian Friend in God" and then goes right behind your back and makes up lies about something you said. In the Microsoft´s newsgroups he posts sometimes under fake names and attacks, under these fake names, people who express negatively about him or his websites (we have proofs of it). He posts e-mails to software vendors with threats that if they will not stop sponsoring websites that he doesn´t like, then his websites will never ever cover software of such software vendors. On his web, he has many references to company´s that he has consulted for or do a major system redesign, when the company is called, they have never heard of him ! This one should be kicked out of the MVP programme, he never posts on the boards anyway (just a little lately after he got MS Smartphone with Bluetooth for free from Microsoft and just before the MVP summit to show up that he is "active") and has a poor attitude against the rest of the world, seems to have a large amount of Hate inside him.

  • Geez, "msmobile," take it somewhere else! Don't you understand that everybody is sick and tired of your paranoid, insane little rants? You need to realize that the source of all your problems is YOU. You're an unstable, hypocritical, hateful little troll.



    But, if you want to continue to make such accusations about Jason Dunn and the other MVPs, why don't you belly up to the bar and offer some actual proof for once? With all your idiotic comments you have never ONCE provided any real evidence. So I say, put up or shut up.
