MVPs are
people who provide technical assistance to other users of Microsoft
technology, usually on the thousands of message boards, user groups
and Web sites devoted to Microsoft products. They range in age from 18
to 80, and reside in more than 55 countries around the globe, from
Brazil to China.
Microsoft began awarding the MVP status almost a decade ago to
recognize the most outstanding contributions in these online,
peer-to-peer communities. Earlier this month, to acknowledge the
growing interest in the MVP program and in peer-to-peer assistance,
Microsoft increased the size of the program to include more than 1,200
new and ongoing active members - more than double the number in
previous years.
"Microsoft MVPs are much more than active online community
members," says Jim Allchin, group vice president of Microsoft's
Platforms Division. "This group is very important to us. Their
enthusiasm, expertise and commitment to the community make them super
valuable, and we appreciate all the help they give us." |
