Just to clarify the MVP thing a bit - they classify you in what seems (at the time) to fit you best.
Originally I was a Networking MVP - even though I can't setup a network beyond plugging the different stuff into my router.
I too have been reclassed from Windows Expert to Windows Experience.
But my "experience" is completely different from alphanumeric's. I specialize in BSOD stuff for users (with a bit of Windows Internals thrown in to keep me going on kernel mode stuff).
BTW - congrats on the re-award!
IMO the biggest benefits of being an MVP are access and networking. You can ask questions and receive answers through the MVP channels that aren't available elsewhere - both from Microsoft employees and from other MVP's. Not to mention the free beer (and food) at MVP Summit! :0)
