I'm not the right person to judge this article, because I'm MSP myself, but I don't think that sentences like "It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to develop real-world skills to help you succeed in your future career, to help others learn about the technology of today and tomorrow, and to connect with other like-minded students, all while having a ton of fun along the way." represent neutral point ov view and are valuable addition to encyclopedia. 88.109.146.117 20:05, 20 April 2007 (UTC) Tomas Petricek

Excuse me for my english ;)
I'm a MSP too,I come from France and this programme it's a really opportunity for up my level in technology Microsoft for my :job.
But MSP is a community of students too, and we share some informations on differents event (for exemple on techdev in Paris)
Microsoft is very present on this community and he's help us ;) (for exemple Segolene Hemar for the France)

I didn't say I disagree with this statement and that's why I didn't want to modify the page - aside from the fact that it would be "writing about myself" which isn't good thing to do here... Being MSP gave me a lot and I'm glad to be part of this community. I'm also sure that it is a unique opportunity for students interested in MS technologies. I just don't think that the diction of this article follows good encyclopedia guidelines. Compare it for example with article about Microsoft Most Valuable Professional program, which I think is quite objective and "encyclopedic". 88.109.146.117 21:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC) Tomas Petricek

I agree. Changed to provide more factual information

[edit] Inaccurate at best

Early versions of this page denounced as sounding too much like an advertisement were at least accurate, seeing as they were pulled directly from communications with those that run the program. While Wikipedia isn't a place for copy and paste, at least it was accurate. In particular, the benefits section directly contradicts the facts. No financial incentive? That simply isn't true.
