[bdlug] Microsoft threatens its Most Valuable Professional
"What's the best way to attract a pile of threatening lawyers' letters from Microsoft? Sell pirate copies of Windows? Write a DRM-busting program? Londoner Jamie Cansdale has just discovered a new approach. He had the temerity to make Redmond's software better. As a hobby, Cansdale developed an add-on for Microsoft Visual Studio. TestDriven.NET allows unit test suites to be run directly from within the Microsoft IDE. Cansdale gave away this gadget on his website, and initially received the praises of Microsoft. In fact, Microsoft was so pleased with him, it gave him a Most Valuable Professionals award, which it says it gives to 'exceptional technical community leaders from around the world who voluntarily share their high quality, real world expertise with others'. However, his cherished status did not last." http://www.theregister.com/2007/06/05/microsoft_mvp_threats/ -- Mozammel http://www.mozammelhaque.net [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [bdlug] Microsoft threatens its Most Valuable Professional
The Microsoft side of the story is on http://blogs.msdn.com/danielfe/ Excerpt: As for Jamie, we’ve been asking him in multiple emails and conference calls to stop extending (just Express) since before Visual Studio 2005 even shipped. We even got the General Manager of Visual Studio to personally talk to him on the phone to plead with him to remove Express extensibility. Closely following that, Jamie took the violations to heart and removed Visual Studio Express extensibility for several months. Only recently did he decide to add Express support back to TestDriven.NET and only after another round of conversations and close to two years of trying to avoid escalating this situation, we felt compelled to deliver our message in a different form. Dan is the owner of the Express product. Md Mozammel Haque wrote: > "What's the best way to attract a pile of threatening lawyers' letters from > Microsoft? Sell pirate copies of Windows?
