11 May 2008 – 12:59 am

Ray Ozzie, I am disappointed.

29 February 2008 – 6:24 pm

This is Ray Ozzie. He’s Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect. I pictured him kind of younger than that… but Microsoft ages you like nothing else. I mean, just look at Steve Ballmer!
Anyway, see that link on Ray’s page… top right in the sidebar… yeah, that links to his blog. Click it.
You’ve arrived at a page dated [...]
