Microsoft announces Windows Insider MVP Program

If you are a die-hard Microsoft fan, there is one designation that would probably put you over the moon -- MVP. Yeah, many people want to be considered a most valuable person, but not everyone gets the nod.

Today, the new queen of the Windows Insider program, Dona Sarkar, makes an exciting announcement. You see, there is a new category that will focus specifically on Microsoft's operating system -- 'Windows Insider MVP Program'.

"Last October, we announced a restructuring of the Microsoft MVP Program to focus on Developers and IT Professionals. As part of that restructuring, we mentioned that the consumer MVP award categories would be supported directly by the product teams. Today we are excited to announce the Windows Insider MVP Program – the new home for our MVPs focused on Windows and Devices for consumers", says Dona Sarkar, Software Engineer, Windows and Devices Group.

Sarkar further says, "our Windows and Devices consumer MVPs are super important to us and we have been working these past several months to figure out the right home for them. It was a thoughtful decision to bring these MVPs into the Windows Insider Program, where the future of Windows is being shaped directly by the people who use Windows most. The Windows Insider MVP Program allows us to work more closely with MVPs via more focused, direct interactions with various Windows and Devices product teams".

For existing Microsoft MVPs that focus on Windows, the company will begin transitioning them soon. If you are such a person, and you are worrying about it being rocky, don't -- Microsoft should make it an easy move.

If you want to get this newly-announced and likely-coveted Windows Insider MVP Program designation, you must wait until next year. Sorry! Microsoft promises to supply more details for new members in the fall.
