Speaking of conferences,

Microsoft will host the 2009 MVP Global Summit March 1-4, 2009 at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in Seattle, and at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington.

I will be attending my third Summit as a Microsoft Consumer Security MVP, and am looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues again real time and meeting new ones.

The MVP Global Summit features more than 400 technical sessions in which MVPs can connect with other MVPs, build relationships with Microsoft experts, and provide real-world insights and feedback to Microsoft product teams.

Post Summit

Microsoft said about 1,800 people attended this year’s MVP Summit from countries around the world.

Aside from the fun and meeting virtual colleagues in person, MVPs met with Product Groups and had the opportunity to learn and give lots of feedback.

Ballmer made the comments as part of a lively and wide-ranging address at the MVP Summit, an annual conference for independent technology gurus who specialize in specific Microsoft product lines. The deep expertise of the MVPs can lead to frank and detailed exchanges with Microsoft representatives.

But the work that you guys do, not only helping our customers, but really helping give us the right kind of a kick in the backside when we need it to really be on the leading edge of how people are using these products, talking to us about it, telling us what we can do to make those better experiences is absolutely, absolutely invaluable.

After hearing Steve Ballmer’s keynote speech I understood why an attendee last year was disappointed that he did not speak then.

He was responsive in the Q&A period and very inspiring and attentive, made us laugh a lot too.

MVPs, the Passion and the Feedback

Things have been quiet around here as I was attending the Microsoft MVP 2008 Global Summit

Rich Kaplan, Microsoft’s vice president of Supportability and Customer and Partner Experience joins Joe Wilcox of Microsoft-Watch in a podcast.

Kaplan claims that MVPs are not just Microsoft supporters, but the company’s harshest critics. So, what have they to say about Windows Vista Service Pack 1? That’s one of the many interesting questions he answers.
