I don't get money from Microsoft. I'm not a shareholder. The majority of the time I've said such things is because others were spreading misinformation. And FYI, almost everything I do in the community that Microsoft looks at for MVP award is very neutral... process improvement, skills development, etc. I happen to use C# for my demos, but almost any language could be used. I have done a couple of ASP.Net specific presentations over the past few years, but that's the only .Net specific thing I've done.

>Search your own messages, and see how many of them praise Microsoft products and/or talks badly about their competitors. Come on, you have been criticized for your pro Microsoft messages here for years. Don't start an argument about this subject now, it's far too late. I don't know if you're on their payroll, if you lick their back in order to remain a member of their MVP program, or if you just happen to like their products, and I couldn't care less. Quite a few of us wonder why you write as if you are on their payroll, and you have been asked about your motives many times.
