There is no way to "apply" to be an MVP. The only sneaky way is to get recommended by existing MVP's or Microsoft personnel. A good way is to have a Web page devoted to commputer savvy items, with a couple of long blogs on the virtues of Microsoft..
Helping on forums, as the link says, obviously is a contribution, but unless that recommendation comes along, futile.
I am never sure, looking through the membershio pages, what the score is. It is only membership for one year (unless you get renewed) In spite of this, there appear to be literally hundreds of MVP,s on the various forums at present, who's names have appeared for some years as MVP's. Assuming I have got the correct impression, maybe Microsoft, if they wish to enlarge the award, could enlarge their genuine membership by making the "Awards" last longer than one year?
