Diversity is better than uniformity

Scoble asks "Which way do you want Microsoft to go? Why?". And it is nothing less strategic as the way how RSS feeds are respresnted on Microsoft sites. I think we need corporate identity but not uniformity. A whole different story. Robert, what you describe as "messiness" is part of our creative culture. You guys over at Channel 9 are a perfect example for our "messy"  creativity and the amount of freedom we have to do our job the way we want. Well done! Let's keep it that way.

BTW, I very much agree with what you said in one of your earlier posts about the different names for different services Microsoft offers (MSN Search vs. Office Live vs. ...). Sorry but I'm too messy to find the post to link to it.

Next thing you complain about Microsofties not wearing the same uniform. Have you ever worked for a big financial institution or alike. Guess not. Even Microsoft is maturing and in this high speed process we are already losing enough of our oh so important "messiness".

Now I feel better. Thanks Robert.
