Mini MSFT got some coverage
September 16, 2005
I was scanning through my feeds today and I saw that Mini-Microsoft got interviewed by BusinessWeek. His posts are oftentimes controversial and there is quite the following on his comments. I’ve read through most of his stuff and generally agree that there are some problems with the operation of Microsoft – as far as if the answer is to cut off all the middle management and implement a rigorous firing of below average performers, I’m not sure if it’s that easy.
All in all, I think it’s great for Microsoft to have a blogger like Mini that can hold a public discussion about radical ideas that could positively affect the company. One point that many people reference again and again is that Mini oftentimes has logical suggestions to accompany his rants on stuff that’s broken.
Now if only decision makers (like Steve Ballmer) would open up a dialogue with Mini Microsoft and listen to the concerns out there, maybe we’d be getting somewhere. Unfortunately, according to this interview, Steve doesn’t read Mini and continues to dodge hard questions
Don’t take my word for it, check out his latest interview with BusinessWeek.
