MVPs keep bashing competition of Microsoft (Linux, Symbian) and cajoling users to get Microsoft products | |

Apparently Microsoft MVPs not only are helping users of Microsoft products, but are also officially bashing Microsoft´s competition: Robert Levy says that Windows Mobile from Microsoft is better than Linux, because operators will earn less money with Linux (and thus forgets one important factor: users don´t like to part with their money very much): Linux is proclaiming "Pick me! I´ll decrease your costs!" while Microsoft is getting right to the heart of the matter by boasting "Pick me! I´ll increase your revenue." One offers to cut the cost of each device by a few dollars. The other offers to increase the amount of money customers pay to their carrier each month by a few dollars. This doesn´t sound like a very difficult decision to me. |

There are some damned fine MVP's out there.
Unfortunately, there are also some damned annoying MVP's out there. Some of them make you want the ability to reach in through the monitor and... TL |

I'm a Microsoft MVP and Robert is a fine MVP.
@ www.smartphonethoughts.com Robert is allowed to voice his own views. MVPs are not Microsoft spokespeople, we are independent and think for ourselves. It just so happens that we've been recognized for working to help users of Microsoft's platforms. |

Yeah, it's offensive. But I guarantee you that msmobiles or anyone associated with it just lost any chance of ever, ever being considered for the MVP program.
As an MVP it sucks that people have problems with MVP's but it just that **their** problems. Our main goals are to help users and to provide our technical expertise. Our we Microsoft centric in our knowledge, of course, does that mean that Microsoft's solutions are always the best.. well no. SO msmobile and staff, go cry yourself a river. You're not getting MVP's and ranting about MVP only degrades your level of supposed professionalism. Becoming an MVP isn’t about site traffic at all; it’s much more rigorous and comprehensive. |

| #3 No, I actually find it quite funny and it's quite a realistic depiction! |

| kabuki - suck an egg. and when you're done... offer some evidence to support your conclusion. Oh and please make the evidence as anecdotal as possible. |

Yeah, kabuki!
And when you find evidence to support that conclusion, can you please go help David Kay find those WMDs? Thanks! |

#6 Conclusion? Here I was thinking that I was at most giving my opinion. Go find your own evidence.
#7 Huh? That's mooresa56 that believes David Kay and Iraq's lethal (yet invisible) WMD! Go ask him for evidence! Hell, I think pretty much the whole WORLD would LOVE to see THAT evidence!! #8 hehehe free t-shirt huh =) Where do I sign up? =) |

using that logic, we should just wait for North Korea to drop a nuke before we are absolutely sure they have them.
glad you guys have your noses in code, and aren't leading this country |
