A detailed post-mortem is always a good thing. I have to say I love reading gamasutra's PM's - I get a much better perspective on the projects I do, if I can occasionally see how other people got through theirs.
I agree wholeheartedly. I usually go to GameDev's collection of post-mortems, which includes links to gamasutra's. The "what went wrong" sections are especially insightful.
The green os. 12-18% better power savings for 'always-on' desktops. Sell it to the CFO, not the CTO, and leverage half the marketing budget to the Windows Green campaign. Don't bother with other features or capabilities. They are unneeded, and do nothing to drive adoption or deployment. (Sorry, feature teams.)
You got modded funny, but that's a pretty damn brilliant marketing gimmick. Better than anything Microsoft has come up with recently, that's for sure.
Right, because this was all about Microsoft claiming a new idea. Slashdot retards attack!!!
I know this is Slashdot, but you could at least try to RTFA:
We would like your feedback on a new concept...The concept is called 'Instant On'. 'Instant On' takes your computer from being completely powered down or 'turned off' to being usable for a few specific activities in a very short amount of time.
Quick! Slashdot Microsoft apologists to the rescue!
The best Star Wars story in the past decade was Knights of the Old Republic on Xbox, and while I don't have any numbers to back it up, it probably reached more people than the books and possibly even the Clone Wars cartoons.

No one said it was an original idea.
Does it need to be an original idea for them to implement it? Are only original ideas worth adding to an OS?
Nobody, that is, except Microsoft in the actual survey. From TFA:
"We would like your feedback on a new concept," the Microsoft survey states, according to a leaked version sent to Engadget.

I'm glad we have Microsoft to come up with these innovative ideas, because Linux developers could never come up with something like this on our own! Thanks Microsoft!
