Is that a guess or realy it's mentioned somewhere ?FYI: There are quite a few MVPs who expose an MS-critical attitude in public. The MVP award is given to individuals who have shown commitment to helping other users with MS products - not for tooting the Microsoft horn, or holding to the party line.
