Maybe the MacBU is the coolest part of Microsoft, but Microsoft is no longer a special organization overall and that is going to bleed into the MacBU. The culture of Microsoft is the culture mediocrity, of least common denominator. Look at all their weak products. The fact that the MacBU is the only group with any innovation doesn't mean they have control over their workspace.<BR/><BR/>Microsoft all think they are special but that's because they all share this self-righteous Kool-Aid amongst themselves and tell each other how much better they are than everyone. I have to always point that out because I am sick of the snotty attitudes from everyone who works there, who are so difficult as a client to us, and who are so condescendingly "nice" outside of work.<BR/><BR/>As you described, there's nothing special going on in there. No cool interior design, nothing modern, just mediocrity. And a ghetto poster of the mission statement tacked to a wall. Sad.<BR/><BR/>Funny enough, I love the MacBU and really appreciate all the work they've done for Mac. They have turned around my attitude towards Microsoft as evil. Now I just think the MacBU is great and the rest of the company has potential but is mired in ineptitude, committees, fear, stupidity, arrogance, and a lack of talent, not in engineering (except security), but in product development/marketing, and oh yeah, ape-man Ballmer who keeps making bold proclamations about greatness and great products but delivers nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1150962680727900832006-06-22T00:51:00.000-07:002006-06-22T00:51:00.000-07:00I looked at the photos (then I didn't read the scr...I looked at the photos (then I didn't read the screes of comments) - thanks for the tour.<BR/>I have to say it is sad to see such a boring uninspired work environment. <BR/>Also sad to see that one of the richest companies in the world offers "all you can drink" total rubbish for your body.<BR/><BR/>I came to look hoping to see something radically different that would somehow go to explain such a "successful" company, what I see is just a boring average everyday kinda office like the majority of others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1150836522220196792006-06-20T13:48:00.000-07:002006-06-20T13:48:00.000-07:00Nice facilities. now how about using them to make ...Nice facilities. now how about using them to make a worthwhile MSN client for OS X?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1150678220980917232006-06-18T17:50:00.000-07:002006-06-18T17:50:00.000-07:00that was soooo explictyithat was soooo explictyiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1149796271146271372006-06-08T12:51:00.000-07:002006-06-08T12:51:00.000-07:00I've never seen so many macs in a room....amazing....I've never seen so many macs in a room....amazing...<BR/><BR/>bye<BR/>fedeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1149294082607187252006-06-02T17:21:00.000-07:002006-06-02T17:21:00.000-07:00This is awesome!
