Google asks Jon Skeet to give up his Microsoft MVP award

Looks like this Google vs. Microsoft thing might get rougher. Maybe we are going to see something bigger than the Chrome vs. Internet Explorer head on attack.

Google wanting an employee to turn down an awarded designation from Microsoft might be the tip of the Google expansion iceberg. How much market share will Google be able to take away from Microsoft, and what Microsoft Markets will they go after next? Can Google become Microsoft II or Microsoft Jr.? From a development standpoint, new products present new opportunities. This could get interesting.

Not again! Google never asked anyone twice before. This guy must be very important.

Someone should tell Jon Skeet that he's really not missing out on much.

It is much closer to an employment contract than to an "award".

Why does this matter or is valuable news?
