after all hes selling the same software for billions and paying peanuts to his developers...
They still spend quite a lot of money and it would be unfair to say, they havent cared for MVP. To be frank, MVPs get more than an MS FTE in certain cases. Take example of Company Store, even MS FTEs in India cannot order items to be shipped to them here, whereas MVPs can get.
MVP Summit is just one thing, but if you see the rest of goodies, MVP Award package you get, you wont have this question.
It is just my humble opinion.
