MVP Award 2007 - one down, one to go

Posted by pnear
Front Page, XP Media Center Edition

I received word via email this morning that I have received the 2007 Microsoft MVP award.  This marks year #4 as a Media Center MVP, and I’m honoured to receive the recognition.  This next year should be an interesting one for MCE, as I truly believe that it will move from “HTPC niche” to “mass market photos and music on the HDTV”.  It’s a big shift for the product, and a big shift for the community.  I look forward to introducing a whole new group of people to MCE as they discover it included on their new Vista PCs in February.

That was one big piece of news I was waiting on, the second is related more to work.  My company was purchased by Oracle recently, and I’m expecting to hear sometime in the next week or so whether I will be transfered to Oracle with steady employment, or if my position will simply cease to exist.  I’m significantly more nervous about this one, and I have my fingers crossed.
