The most interesting part of this article to me was the description of the problem with sales. I think it provides a great insight into the thinking of large companies like Microsoft and why they're decisions are sometimes baffling to those of us not working at huge corporations. He mentions that a sales person going after $100k contracts would not make their quota and lose money for MS. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised but it seems pretty crazy. It also kinda confirms what we already know - that every department of MS is geared towards pushing their whole software stack and to change would be like trying to redirect an iceberg.
