For a Linux and Open Source person such as yours truly, there is simply no point in becoming a Microsoft MVP. It is an honor and a kind of award, but after two months on the inside I can now say that absolutely nothing they offer in the program interests me.

Zero Open Source stuff. Zero about protocols. Zero about any Open technologies at all. 100% boring.

This is not a dis on other MVPs. It just describes how it works for me.

MS MVP is mosty useful for folks where a measurable percentage of their work/income is on MS products and services.

if the majority of your work is on MS, you need it.

if you aren't working on MS every day, it's not worth it.
