>>I seem to recall a non-MVP who promoted a perception of the MS org chart, as a pretext for the advancement of certain features. :)
LOL. For those who don't get it, KG refers to YAG's description of auto-spooling to disk as his "personal priority" for NET just after his promotion some years back: I described YAG as a senior exec, KG objected to that description of YAG and also insisted that a "personal priority" from a newly promoted business figure is just a personal belief.
Not that it matters any more... it's pretty obvious the way the market is going and the personal priorities of MS figures and/or their minions don't have much to do with it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
