MS-Watch | at | by Mike

At the end of last year, rumors were flying that Microsoft was rethinking its commitment to its Most Valuable Professional (MVP) program. But on Wednesday, Microsoft ended that speculation and awarded as MVPs a pool of independent technology experts and announced plans for a 2005 summit for them.

MVPs are experts with knowledge about one or more Microsoft products and technologies. Their job is to help Microsoft support developers and customers via online communities, trade shows, and other ways.
