Ray Ozzie, CTO of Microsoft, of Groove fame, blogs again

Ray Ozzie: V3

As in the past, it’s not my intent to be pitching our products here. We’ve got plenty of mechanisms - old school and new - that work well for that sort of thing. But to the extent that I’m excited about something, or I think there might be a different angle that you might be interested in, I’ll chime in.

Mostly, though, it’s my intent to use this as a channel through which to reply and converse with you in a manner that scales. Not on all topics; it’s clear that the nature of my role at this large, public company dictates that I should and will stay silent on certain matters. At times there will be controversies I just can’t or won’t engage in. Many years ago at Groove we developed an early blogging policy. Things may have evolved quite a bit since then, but this policy continues to give reasonable guidance that I’ll continue to apply to my own comments here.

Ray is blogging again. And apparently, he doesn’t like the Yankees.
