When I used to walk the halls of Microsoft, going to my desk to work on intranet sites, I’d see the “no randomization” signs and it meant, “keep on message, don’t be random, don’t screw up.”
Some of us old schoolers remember an event, back in the day in 1997, that was called the Site Builder Conference with the express purpose of whipping up developers into a froth to run out and starting coding for Internet Explorer right away. That didn’t work then and it appeared to be almost working at Mix 06, until well, during the event that was going along just fine, Microsoft announces another Vista slip. And that’s a big-ass slip! It’s now Vista 07.
How random is that and now the blogosphere is ablaze with talk about the slip and I can just imagine seeing all those no randomization signs again in the halls of a company in turmoil. More
I suggest marketing add a 7th version of the OS to commemorate the launch in 2007.
