Microsoft cuts another 800 jobs â Whats the âstoryâ this time?

,----[ Quote ]
| Before we go into the article it is worth
| mentioning that Boycott Novell reported the
| 800 job cuts way before the news hit the
| mainstream media.  Detractors to the BN
| website may like to consider that fact. | http://boycottnovell.com/wiki/index.php/Main_P
| age
|
| As the US is officially out of the recession
| (with the UK lagging slightly) more job
| losses are announced from Redmond, 800
| (allegedly) of them, with the cuts
| apparently coming in the sales and marketing
| sections.  Could this be a reason why we saw
| this? â is Microsoft getting so hard up that
| it generates Twitter accounts to do its
| bidding? (and very badly I hasten to add)
