Microsoft rebuilds Redmond, well, part of it ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

“Microsoft rips it all up and starts again – no, the campus, not Windows”

Oh... a letdown. I though the “starts again” referred bringing back XP; I was practically giddy.

1. They complain about all the legacy code in Windows, but dont seem to mention that companies are the ones that demand it, so why would they make their primary customers angry?

2. Who cares if they demolish builds for redevelopment. Lots of construction guys will have steady work for a while.

Interesting. I spent five years on campus as a contractor and worked in most of the buildings. I was one of the very first to get caught up in Micrsft’s contractor crunch - lost my gig due to the “360 and out” policy that MS enacted because of contractors suing for lost benefits.

I bet Microsoft management will lay off most of the people before the work is done on the remodel.

I am sure you know of the bloat written on the bloat that is why we have gigabytes of unnecessary code that is Windows. Why Linux is the go to for those not caught in the cult. Always been a fan of this guy.
