Microsoft has revoked the Most Valuable Professional status of an Australian developer who publicly complained that the programme was effectively asking members to spread marketing material.
The software programmer, Geoffrey Huntley, took exception to Microsoft’s efforts last week in the following tweet.

“There was an upcoming product release announcement by AWS and the program asked members to amplify a PR campaign that Microsoft SQL server runs best on Azure,” he added in another tweet, which concluded: “Like — go out & blog about why azure and SQL server is the thing over AWS offerings.”
