There are two issues involved here
One is the reality of Patchou's software, which is questionable at best.

Even more important is the perception. This is a PR disaster for Microsoft and it's also a breakdown in its vetting process for MVPs. It took me less than five minutes with Windows Live Search to find the nexus between unhappy MVPs and Patchou's product. Whoever is in charge of the MVP program didn't do their homework.
