I was really excited to see the email with subject line "Congratulations 2009 Microsoft MVP". This is my 3rd consecutive year as BizTalk Server MVP. I feel honoured to receive this award year after year. I would like to thank those unknown faces behind the scene who nominated me for this year. The value you get out of this program is enormous. Things like regular interaction by product group meetings, annual MVP summit which gets you closer to the dev's and architects behind the product(s), knowing the road map of the product(s), attending Software design reviews etc etc.
Apart from all these things, there is an enormous pleasure when someone drops a comment in my blog or web site saying it helped them solve so and so problem. When some unknown people recognise you in conferences and user group meetings and prize your work.
Simply its great!!
