Sergey's MVP status might even help, but only so if his comments are more responsible. I know for a fact that certain bloggers were able to affect change with MS regarding WPF. That was my point to Sergey - if he wants to affect change, his recent commentary won't accomplish anything. I respect Sergey greatly, so consider my comments an attempt to help him, regardless of what you might think.

Was he trying to effect change? I took his original remark as a somewhat whimsical response to your characterization of SS 2008 R2 as revolutionary. You made some good points about it in your previous reply to me. Still, I think revolutionary would be quite a stretch.
