I am delighted and honored to receive Microsoft's Most Valuable Professional (MVP) 2008 Award for Connected System Developer. This is my third consecutive year receiving the MVP award. Thank you to the folks in Microsoft's MVP program and Connected Systems Division for this award.

Microsoft's Connected Systems Division owns the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WF), CardSpace, and BizTalk Server (BTS) technologies. BTS gains a new focus and considerable prominence in Project Oslo.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate this award.
