Microsoft = 100 Companies

Microsoft = 100 Companies

By Piers Fawkes on April 9, 2006

A piece by Robert Scoble suggests that Microsoft runs like 100 companies not one. He spotlights how the various product groups of the technology company cannot even agree on a standard RSS feed icon.

Lots of people assume that Microsoft runs as a single entity. That we are lock step going in one direction. The truth is often messier. We’re actually more like 100 companies all under the same roof. That messiness is showing up in the RSS icons we’re using.
