First, perhaps only a company with 90,000 employees (i.e., bloated) has enough spare resources to built a custom wifi authentication system with temporary passwords, color brochures, etc.
Second: Google's meeting with Joel was put on YouTube, and Microsoft's was...off-the-record? I think this one speaks for itself.
And seriously how can anyone get any real work done with all those meetings all day long?
