There's been some grumbling about things at Microsoft - from people at (or recently at) Microsoft itself. Mini-Microsoft is interesting today, and Dare had a good piece up the other day as well. Sounds to me like all is not entirely well in the b0rg cube...

Update: James Governor has some interesting thoughts on all this, with a particular focus on how it might affect Scoble. I've often wondered about some of the bomb throwing Scoble does within MS. Back in the 90's, I spent a fair bit of time at ParcPlace-Digitalk and ObjectShare throwing bombs - some of them public (in USENET - the blogosphere didn't really exist then). One thing I learned was that bomb throwing - especially the public kind - almost never works. It puts your targets on the defensive, and makes it harder for your allies to join with you. You get a lot of private claps on the back, and very little public support.

Are there times I disagree with Cincom management? Sure there are. You won't see me trying to air the dirty laundry here though, because I don't think it would be productive. On your way out of a job, such behavior burns bridges. What do you think it does while you're still on the job?
