More on Jamie Cansdale

Jamie wrote a follow-up post about getting dropped from the MVP program. You can read the original post here, as well as Roy’s post which includes some more details. Jamie showed me how he was getting add-ins to the Express SKUs and it isn’t even anything that special (very clever though), it is a public part of the API. No de-compilation or un-documented API is required.  

Jamie mentions that I contacted Josh Ledgard over the matter. Josh is one of the most community minded and level-headed people I know who work at Microsoft. He understood my concern and I feel he did everything that he could to help out, but it was out of his control.

Interestingly the person who Jamie is having so much trouble with is the same individual who made any help with Visual Studio Hacks contingent on removing certain hacks, I blogged about it way back when.
