From Computerworld: Microsoft said late Monday it had identified the person who had leaked the still-in-beta Windows Home Server to the Web. According to both the company and messages from the site where the beta was once posted, however, earlier reports that the leaker was a Microsoft MVP were incorrect.
Last week, several news outlets ran stories about a Microsoft investigation into a leak of the Windows Home Server (WHS) code to thehotfix.net Web site. The stories cited an e-mail sent by Kevin Beares, the Windows Home Server community lead at Microsoft, to all MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) named “Richard.” MVP is the Microsoft designation for a group of developers and others who the company believes make significant contributions to users; many MVPs are active in various beta tests that Microsoft runs.
