Hi John, I have to agree with you there. I also work for a different Microsoft Partner and I was discussing with a Microsoft employee about current technology and where to get leads. He said straight to me, "oh we usually just refer them to ..." the same partner you are talking about. Well hello, person standing right in front of you, competitor. At the time he said that, he pointed towards the front of the room, where my employees had just given a talk. I had to pull him up, and say, "hey, they aren't from ..., they are from my company"

I suggest you to use Blogger instead of WordPress free hosting. Blogger is more flexible if you want to customize it.

Hi,

First of all congratulations to all new MVPs. You deserve it for your efforts you put in helping the community.

Since this is about community I'd like to highlight some shortcomings of MVP program. My comments mostly relate to Microsoft in Australia and the way MVP program is being run here. We have seen many times that employees of one partner are being preferred over other hard working and contributing members of Microsoft community. This issue came up few years ago and you can read all about it here

blogs.msdn.com/.../te08-support-from-our-partners.aspx

Once again we have seen a partiality in favour of this partner. Recently MVP award was given to Steven Naggy http://azure.snagy.name/blog/. That is not the issue. The issue is that at the same time David Burela davidburela.wordpress.com/about who has probably done more work in the community was overlooked. Why? Could the answer be that David does not work for this preferred partner.

In the past this partner has recruited people with a promise that they will be awarded MVP in next round. And without any surprise this has actually come true.

Other than this, employees of this partner are given preferences to speak in Microsoft conferences. When Microsoft is questioned they seem to have a view that people who do not work for this partner are not active in the community and do not submit proposals for speaking engagements. That is not true at all. You just need to ask people at the ground level and hear them.

This has been going on for some time in Australia and honestly it is creating a very bad impression of Microsoft and Microsoft community in general. I'm not sure if anything will be done about this, but given that this is a public forum I have raised the point.

GREAT! Can't hardly wait! But take notice that since 1991 the Constitutional name of my country is Republic of Macedonia, or simply - Macedonia.
