Sorry dude this is the official statement from Microsoft:
quote:
" Cyril Paciullo was awarded with MVP status this year on the basis of his technical expertise and strong community contribution. However, his active MVP Award status was revoked as soon as the extent of the connection between his application and spyware was made apparent to the MVP Program."
Like I said, MS handled this poorly. Of course they knew his program had optional adware within the program, I guess they were hoping nobody would complain. They cannot be seen to reward a developer for practically pushing (how the complainers see it) adware onto users. Especially when MS are pushing Vista for security against adware/spyware crap.
