I was wondering if you feel like you know Microsoft and how much of that matters? I hope this is not a strange question, but I think it does has some value so I decided to ask it. I don't know that it matters a lot about what technology you are using, but do you feel there is a Microsoft employee/expert behind that technology. If there is an employee, do you try to find articles and resources by that expert or are you unable to find a Microsoft face behind that product?
Microsoft France has an interesting site that contains biographies:

This site seems pretty interesting. If you find the Microsoft face important, then I would be happy to hear from you and what you would like to see.
