We had several people going through every single bug and feedback and
reviewing for several months all feedback to decide who qualify as a
Butterfly. Every beta participant has an equal chance to become a Butterfly
regardless of his/her previous status. This is the same process used by the
MVP Program and the goal is to reward beta participants that have been
active during the previous review period. Windows Live Butterfly Product
Specialists have shown expertise in one Windows Live product. In your case
you are shown expertise in Windows Live Messenger. Windows Live Butterfly
Experts are proficient in more than one Windows Live Product. There is no
need to sign up for being selected for the Butterfly Status (product
specialist or expert), we automatically review everyone's contribution every
6 months.
Sounds like they spent more time picking the butteflies than fixing the bugs they reported.
