Thought this [interview](http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/windows/story/0,10801,84362,00.html) 
was VERY interesting, more for the approach more than anything else. It really does
look like MS is changing the way they approach software - the focus on quality over
timeliness and marketing concerns is appreciated. It really does seem that they are
changing the way the communicate with customers and developers (as well as realising
that developers are pretty important members of 'their team')
