"Interestingly Windows Media player in Windows Mobile devices must very bad and simply lame because several Windows Mobile MVPs used the opportunity of being in USA to buy Apple iPod (this MP3 player is available also in EU but in USA it´s much cheaper). We can therefore say that Microsoft directly supports competition (equally well MS could send money directly to Apple corporation). "

Dude, stop smoking the crack.

I bet lots of MVPs bought beer too. Does that mean Microsoft directly supports the alcohol industry? And, wait, 99% of the MVPs had to *FLY* to redmond, so I guess Microsoft supports the Airline industry too.

So, since you're making wild accusations and *incredible* logic leaps, let me make one of my own:

You claim to be a MSMobiles person, in other words, you know about the product. Above you say "Interestingly Windows Media player in Windows Mobile devices must very bad and simply lame". Since you are phrasing this in a way that implies you have no idea, I must therefore say that you have no idea what applications are on a MS Mobile device and their respective quality, thereby calling into question your entire qualifications as a MSMobile expert.

Hey, MSMobiles...! Your Mom called and said she wants her computer back. Oh, and she said next time you borrow it, you need to also take the spelling and grammar checkers with you.

The MVP's that I have had the opportunity to communicate with have all shown outstanding knowledge of their area of expertise and a willingness to assist other product support people at any time.
To me it sounds like you have a bunch of sour grapes that is well on the way to becoming a cheap wine (whine). Attitude is also a consideration of the MVP program. Confused

Maybe you should focus on the productive, if you have the skill and did not get a nomination it must be because your peers did not feel you have what it takes.

dude, knock off the MVP bashing! It makes you look like a petulant little boy. Your attitude isn't helping you one bit.

MSMobiles isn't taking anyone on at all.

All I have read are just petty childish criticisms from my point of view. Stick to the software reviews and just-in-time reporting and you're fine. You even get the stories online first most of the time, which is amazing, but quit the 12-year-old whining about how MVP's are bribed by evil and slaves to the big bad machine... (what does your computer run huh?) It is bringing down the readership and diluting the impact and good things your site has.

Most of us don't care about MVP's despite the venom spewed here: http://msmobiles.com/catalog/i.php/490.html, I think they it is a great carrot to dangle in front of mobile enthusiasts, even if the requirements seem to be a little Orwellian.

One example of going off the deep end...the blacklist at http://msmobiles.com/catalog/i.php/488.html. Even goes on to mention that you don't like most of them... why do you care anymore? Aren't you wasting energy?
