Microsoft Bashing is so '99

  • 项目

John Topley has a nice piece about Microsoft and why he doesn't understand all the hatred towards it. Hear, hear!

All the MS bashing does get one down after a while, even though I'd say our skins are thicker than most. I am just one of the 55,000 trying to build the best software we can. It's sounds trite because you hear it a lot from people here, but it's true. My particular job is to build the best web mail client out there and I love it. I love hearing about how people use our stuff. I love walking down the hall and seeing people outside my group dogfooding our latest bits and hearing what they think. I love getting email from people I've never met who've taken time out of their day to tell me about a bug or something in the software that they think just isn't right, and I love making sure we record those bugs and design change requests (what we call DCRs) so we can get those fixes out in the next release.

I don't remember where I was going with this particular entry anymore. Have a read through John's blog entry.
