DHH's arguing that you're missing the very important 4th option here: 4) "Sorry, I'm busy with other things tonight."

    It has everything to do with the advertising campaign! The technology itself, as you say, is an enabler and is neutral. This advertising campaign, on the other hand, is not really advertising the technology but some [IMHO wrong/immoral] argument about how lifestyle & responsibilities should be handled.

    > If you want to work, the advertised technology enables you to work You want to work at your kid's soccer game? During a date? During happy hour? If the campaign was, "Work from home easily one day a week" this blog post wouldn't exist. The debate here has nothing to do with remote work as a concept. Many people have a problem with work-life balance and it's insensitive at best and dystopian at worst for Microsoft to basically say, "Hey, why aren't you working while your date's in the bathroom?"
