Microsoft's yearly confab for its Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) has begun at the company's Redmond campus. The event will connect 1,500 MVPs with over 1,000 Microsoft employees representing 90 technologies and provide insight into the future directions of the company.

Among the topics of discussion this week will be Smart Personal Objects Technology, otherwise known as SPOT, which has struggled to take off in the marketplace. Microsoft executives will also sit down with MVPs today to discuss the company's reorganization and the next wave of products slated to arrive with Windows Vista.
