Great to hear from you, Scott, and great to hear that all is well. I still sometimes tell people about the jointed snowboard that you were inventing — so cool!

Phillip! A friend of mine directed me to your blob — we were discussing our concerns about going back to MSFT.

I still can’t thank you enough for your involvement in my “going away” party back in 2001.

Great blogs, Phillip. You nailed it.

Cheers all around!
All the best,

–Scott

PS. I came out of “retirement” 8 months later and went to work at various mobile device development companies (still working in fact).

I saw this today thanks to an FB posting. Ill be back for more.

Close to your point 1: “Without a vision, the people perish” (Prov 29:18)

Much of Microsoft seems to lack proper vision, and the result is a lot of defensive navel-gazing.
