  1. You probably will ask tough questions, especially you left Microsoft. Plus you know a lot more about other companies like Google to put Bill into “blue” mode.

  3. Tejas: maybe they thought I’d ask tough questions? Or, they knew I’d be at Google this week and didn’t want to put me in the position of choosing between Google and Microsoft.

  5. I still don’t see how this improves Microsoft whatsoever. Did the bloggers somehow provide Bill with information he didn’t have access to before? The hype machine will have died down by the weekend and nobody will care if Bill chilled with a bunch of bloggers. How does this improve Microsoft products? Maybe it was a nice PR stunt but nothing else. Why not invite a group like this to MS before you put out a product like the crippled Zune? Who wouldn’t like to tell their friend they hung out with Bill for a day?

  7. Ditto on the video blog, Guy!

    This is a great idea for Micrsoft. Why? Assuming that each of these bloggers go back and write about how cool this experience was, and given the massive amount of readers each blogger has…

    that translates to a supercool image for Microsoft and Bill.

    Microsoft is back!

  9. This was a great idea for Microsoft, I would like to see an informal get together of the main IT related companies (Microsoft, Apple, Dell, HP, etc…) with a large group of bloggers and do this same thing, but on a larger scale.

    I guess you could call it GeekFest
