Battling Google, Microsoft
Changes How It Builds Software

This is one of the most interesting, candid & informative articles about the internal situation at Microsoft that I have read in a long time. It includes insight on why WinFS was dropped from the original Longhorn timeframe, how Microsoft is trying to meet the challenge Google is bringing and how Microsoft plans to develop and release software in the future.

# senkwe said on Monday, September 26, 2005 5:24 PM: I thought it was all just marketing fluff at first (i.e, what better way to hand-wave away the delays in Longhorn than to claim that you took high road and wanted to build a better product for your customers) But a few comments on the minimsft blog seem to corroborate the story.
