Microsoft Paradox
A fascinating comment from Liz Lawley (an assistant professor at Rochester Institute of Technology, recently invited to the Microsoft Search Engine Champs meetup):Overall, my impression of the MS folks has been overwhelmingly positive. I find myself wondering how people who seem so bright and interesting and well-intentioned keep coming up with products that don't reflect their apparent core values. :/
I agree. Actually, to be fair, I think Microsoft products generally do reflect the bright, interesting, well-intentioned people who work on them. But at certain points their seems to be a divergence. Determining why this is so (and either fixing it, or doing a better job of explaining why it can't be fixed) may be the key challenge for Microsoft in the next 5 years.
