The Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Program is an award and recognition program run by software giant Microsoft. Microsoft MVPs are volunteers who have been awarded for their contributions to the Microsoft communities.
The MVP program grew out of the developer community: rumor has it the initials stood for "Most Voluble Professional", as the initial MVPs were drawn from the online communities such as Usenet and Compuserve. It has since grown to include other types of products, and other avenues of contribution.
