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.

In Japan, XBox 180 is doing worse than the PS2.
