Default 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.

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.

When an MVP states something about what Microsoft will or will not do, we
generally have it from a better source than the Press. They get their
information from Public Relations or vice presidents. We get it from the
people doing the work.

In a meeting at Redmond we told the OE team that something had to be done
about people losing their message store. The result was this optional
update for WinXP SP2:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en
This will be included in a future comprehensive update. One of the things
it does is to copy all of the DBX files to Recycled as BAK files, so that
the messages are recoverable.

Hi

I just installed IE7. I'm wondering why OE6 is not upgraded to OE7.
