In my mind, Shawn has been the best Microsoft MVP, along with Paul Wilders at Wilders Security, who was one of the very first awarded. I managed to do 12 years, which was a good run, and like the vast majority of members, I have learned an awful lot thanks to your good self.
As for the future direction of Microsoft, you can't tell, as snowballing the security portal was a grave mistake and no reason was given.
At our UK yearly MVP conferences, I always mentioned you, and on more than one occasion, it was thought that you were part of the Windows' development team as you were the only MVP who seemed to know everything about how Windows worked.
As has been stated, you and Paul taught me everything, and I am very grateful for that.
