Redmond Redux

I'll be in Redmond at Microsoft again next week for MSN Search Champs Camp which I'm looking forward to very much.

So much news about how everyone's kicking Microsoft's ass ... right, sure, yeah. I think there are endless reasons not to jump to any hasty conclusions about Microsoft's demise or the notion that Gates doesn't know what he's doing.

He does know what he's doing.

And so do a pile of excellent people who work there. They are just the wrong team to underestimate. You can love 'em, you can hate 'em, but you're an idiot if you underestimate them.
