Ray Ozzie

Really interesting article on Ray Ozzie and Microsoft’s search to find itself (Hey, they’re about to hit 30, right?). I bring it up only for the following paragraph:

Ozzie spent several weeks thinking about the company’s problems, talking to Gates, and writing down his thoughts. The 51-page memo he wrote for the Robinswood meeting dwelled at length on the kind of trouble-free integrated customer experience he thought Microsoft ought to deliver. “What is being proposed herein is not the be all and end all with regard to significant initiatives,” the introduction reads. “[It] is intended to be a unifying force. A binding force. A galvanizing force for all major initiatives going on within the company.” (Emphasis added)

So, apparently the rumors of Microsoft’s next acquisition target are true…

(No, really, the article is kind of interesting. Go read it.)
