I actually got nominated for an MS MVP by Jon Skeet, years ago when I was a front page "C++ expert" on StackOverflow (before it all went pear-shaped). I had to turn them down as at the time I did zero Windows programming, though lots in the past. Jon & the MS guys seemed nice enough.

Yeah, at least the transport layer and application layer.

Congratulations! I’m sure someone will add ‘Web’ to your award once you do something useful internet related. Maybe try writing a HTTP tool or something.
