• Are you excited and motivated to share your knowledge with the wider technical community?
• Over the past year, have you contributed significantly to online communities and/or in-person events through speaking, blogging, podcasts, hosting events or other channels? Can you provide examples?

I value your opinion, but WHY should I do it? What do I gain from it and how will my contribution affect Windows and other MS software development compared to being a non-MVP?

Your voice will carry more weight with the Insider team. It will bring prestige to you and reflect well on TF.

Oh, look at that. I got the WIP MVP invitation too...should I apply? If so, why should I do it other than getting access to MSDN?

I really recommend you to fill the form and submit it.

You not only get Visual Studio Enterprise (former MSDN) subscription. You also get invited to regular online meetings with various Windows teams, access to "big guys" through closed Yammer group, advance information about coming changes and features and so on.

You would in my opinion make a good Insider MVP. You are analytical, quite an advanced user, your opinion matters.

Do it!

Alright, you convinced me!

I guess I have to shave, take a shower and comb my hair before I make the small video presentation. I'm looking like a troll at the moment, though this is not my normal state of looks.

That's because Halloween is coming!

You're absolutely correct! I'm preparing...

A rule of thumb: on a promotional video, you should rather look as a bachelor looking for a date, than as a settled-down husband

That was my thought too.

Put on one of these and you'll be a shoe-in.

This is more important in the Insider Program, than fixing Windows or creating a usable product, these days:

Anyway, seriously speaking, I wholeheartedly recommend everyone getting this "Based on your contributions..." email to submit the application. Not only because of benefits, but also because it is a way to get connected.
