communicate with our
customers – and for them,
more importantly, to
communicate with us. It just
touches people more”

a sense of the people here.
You’re building a connection.

Steve, I am now beginning to enjoy Microsoft. Previously I , and I
suspect millions of others, perceived MS as a leviathan without a
heart. No pulse or warmth. Not a human in sight except Bill in
front of a cold global software assembly plant staffed by
humanoids. By blogging, you and your colleagues have opened
up MS to reveal that the innards are indeed made up of warm,
people with hearts, with families, have smiles and wow, you do
have senses of humour! This is incredible. Who'd have thought
that a corporation like MS was human after all!? We do now. All
because you are engaging with us at our level and this is a
conversation I relate to and like very much. I hope many more do
too.
