Ignorant - New comment on Microsoft FY09Q3 Results

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Microsoft FY09Q3 Results":

Gosh, so many ignorant and one-point of view thinking people in here. Company picnic is a good event for people have kids. It is lots of fun for them. but kinds of boring for young single employees. So don't blame anyone. It isn't a good thing to see it cancelled.

Mini, do you really think people in profitable division like Windows should be proud of? and they deserve more? That is most ignorant statement I ever see. Windows is the most bloated orgnization. I worked in several divisions. Lot of teams in Windows have the lowest working efficiency. Having a long release circle, people there work pretty "confortable". no overtime work, only half day at Friday, at least once a month of moral event, blah, blah... Don't blame E&D, people in E&D work twice harder than Windows, no moral event, no decent office space. Why E&D not profitable, that is market and management screw up. Did windows learn that too on Vista?

(Sorry, you lost me at "ignorant")

Bad Form? - New comment on Spitfire Backfire, Live Labs, and Not My 1,400.

"...a number of you are either in the non-presently-Microsoftie 1,400 or know plenty of people in that pool."

However, we appreciate that you left the original post sit out there unchecked for more than two weeks so those of us "non-presently-Microsoftie 1,400" could wonder what the hell was wrong with us.


I have to agree with this, Mini -- it was bad form to leave the original post for weeks after the comments started flooding in.

It feels like you had an ulterior motive for putting that statement out there.

(Bad form yes, ulterior motive no. I just found it pretty curious that everyone I knew affected [developers] were rehired.)
