>>Curious - you chose to mention JVPs name....
No, that must have been Obama. My only reference to JVP was the idea that he be given a lifetime community achievement award. Clearly you disagree, so can you please tell us why?
>>which means you don't have any problem mentioning names, at least those who haven't posted here in 10+ years (his last post being in September 2004). So who were the MVPs who aggressively blocked the open letter?
I know you're an esteemed MVP but it's up to me what I post as long as I don't use fake IDs or break forum rules. So if you're interested, Google is your friend, I've said what I wanted to say, the way I wanted to say it, and you are not the professor.
/edit/
FWIW there are numerous open letters to MS about Windows 10 from Mozilla, popular bloggers and others. While there is opposition, it doesn't seem to be from MS familiars this time. Maybe you have more insight you can share?
Finally, not so long ago there was a MS familiar right here in UT who scoffed at and denied midstream indications of Android's runaway success. I'll let you give out that name.
"... 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
