When visiting Microsoft Answers, TechNet forums or other Windows support forums on the web, you may have seen some of the answerers using the title "MS-MVP", "MVP" or "Microsoft MVP" under their signature. Some people wonder what that means, and some people think that the answerer is a Microsoft employee (No. MVPs are not Microsoft employees.)
Microsoft Most Valuable Professional – What’s that exactly?
Quoting from Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Homepage
We seek to recognize the best and brightest from technology communities around the world with the Microsoft® Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award. These exceptional community leaders come from a wide range of backgrounds. They are teachers, artists, doctors, engineers, as well as technologists, who actively share their high-quality, real-world technical expertise with the community and with Microsoft.
Recognition is one major driving factor that makes you even more successful in what you do; and Microsoft recognizes your community contributions very well.
What benefits are provided for the MVPs?
There are many, really! Watch the video by Abhishek Kant (Microsoft MVP Lead – South Asia) to know more about the MVP program, its benefits to you, as well as for the community.

Great post, Ramesh!
Nice post. I’ve been nominated several times over the past few years. I just keep on going and helping who I can! :) I’ve been helping others since … well, since I first found USENET and the WWW in 1994. :) I love the satisfaction of fixing a problem and releaving some of the worry and stress of someone.
Congrats, man!
