>> Raikes and Other Exits

>> http://minimsft.blogspot.com/2008/01/raikes-and-other-exits.html
>
> The first comment in the list:
>
> As an ex-msft outsider, Raikes will definitely be missed. He was one
> of the few sanity points in the company.
>
> I had the opportunity to meet with a group of Microsoft PMs in the
> Vista group at CES this week and was amazed that the arrogant
> not-invented-here turf-protection smug 'we are Microsoft' attitude is
> still thick and in use. We were not even asking for anything, just
> providing information they needed (and actually asked for) and we
> still got a face full of 'we are already doing that' in spite of the
> fact that they really weren't.

>> Watch XBox360 here:
>>
>> Microsoft is close to zero. Low, flat curve... $billions in losses and
>> little hope on the horizon, unless you count on Microsoft's spin in Bill
>> Gates' 'mainstream' press.

> In Japan, XBox 180 is doing worse than the PS2.
[Slashdot mode=on] In Korea, only old people use XBox360. Dead people play
Halo.
