Role of MVPs (was IE7 and OE6)
While we are not part of MS, we have been actively involved in discussions
with the relevant MS personnel in terms of product development for many years. We have been listened to quite a lot and ignored quite a lot. Its a very frustrating encounter, but it does achieve positive results for the users ultimately, at least to some extent. As to knowing MS strategy or not, we usually indicate things that we know are rather rock solid. For instance MS has made no signficant changes to OE for years, so there is a good chance it won't ever. Instead the efforts are being directed towards Windows Mail in Vista and towards the Windows Live Mail stuff, which is available to XP users. MS continues to surprise us both favorably and unfavorably. steve "Bill Ridgeway" wrote in message ... Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) wrote We may see a few fixes for OE6 in the future (but nothing dramatic, I assure you) Could you please explain the role / status of MS MVPs? I thought they were not part of (employed by) MS in which case your assurance has no foundation. I have also seen statements like "don't ask me I'm not part of MS". These two don't sit comfortably together and obviously I'm not clear on the matter. Thanks. Bill Ridgeway Computer Solutions |
