christian.einfeldt writes "Our very own Roblimo Miller was invited to an all-expenses-paid tour of the Microsoft campus because he is supposedly 'not friendly' to Microsoft. Writes Roblimo: 'I came away with a sense that Microsoft doesn't currently have a clear sense of what Microsoft should be and where Microsoft should be going... I also think, from what I heard during my visit and what other Microsoft employees and customers have told me at other times, that it has degenerated into a series of disconnected fiefdoms that aren't all moving in the same direction.'"

    Apropos of anything else, what a stupid remark by roblimo about the Zune and Sourceforge projects for it. He mentions "136 projects for the iPod, 0 for the Zune".

    Gee, uhh, Rob, pop quiz:
