I would say we're already there. There are way too many people who ARE stupid as machines, without any exposure to a computer.

When adopting agile teams can use (external) coaches and mentors. But teams can also develop themselves by having team members mentoring and coaching each other. Team members can learn skills and abilities from other team members in multidisciplinary teams, enabling the team to grow as a whole and become self-organized. "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together"

The CBSG[^] is apparently useful for article writing too. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The people I find the most interesting are the "Microsoft killed my Pappy" people, angry with generational anger. My elders hated Microsoft so I hate them. Why? Because, you wronged me. They're (mostly) not the same company they used to be

It really doesn't. I've known more than a few 'Softies, and they are really trying to change the way the company does stuff. Granted, they're almost entirely within the DevDiv org (or rather "Server and Tools"). Certainly there are still large chunks of the company that would love to continue to merrily swing a monopoly club around the industry.

I don't understand your response. This guy is an apologist whose thesis seems to be that angst against ms is inherited and not based an valid current issues.

Which I would agree with (for the most part). Also, knowing Scott (as little as I do), he likely had this opinion before he became a Microsoft employee, and he'd still think this way if he weren't working for the company.
I think that many more people hate Microsoft due to the actions leading to the monopoly trial (i.e. decades ago) than hate them for IE8, Metro, Vista, or any other current issue.

I hate them mostly for launching half baked products, and then discontinuing them a few years later just when you got going with it (Silverlight, Managed DirectX, WPF). Good thing I completely ignored the whole Win RT thing, reeked of Silverlight all over again.

Plus, they'd be hated anyway as almost all big companies are hated for one reason or another.

Today, Microsoft announced a new reference design hardware sample for potential OEMs and ODMs. The move, in conjunction with reduced hardware requirements like front facing keys, will allow new manufacturers to easily jump on board with Windows Phone. Now they just need to sell a few (million)

There’s an ongoing conversation about the shifting role of developers and what that means for IT departments. They’re now shaping product and user experience with such great influence that businesses must understand their importance in order to be as successful as possible. "Endless forms most beautiful"

Those customers that created accounts before December 13, 2013 will have the expiration date of their “early adopter (free) status” extended to May 7, 2014. At that time, the early adopter program will end and everyone will transition to “standard terms”. Between now and then, we will enable the data export experience.

I'd probably get on board with something that takes as little investment as that.
For $25, I'd totally get one just to play around with.

Microsoft is at Mobile World Congress today, and the company is announcing its first significant update to Windows 8.1. Microsoft's Joe Belfiore, who is now responsible for phones, tablets, and PCs at the software maker, revealed the update is coming "this spring" and is largely focused at improving the experience for mouse and keyboard users. With Spring showers, come Windows updates

This is not the proper location for a press release. If you want to post on on CP there is a location [^]for it; but you'll need to contact the site administrators to do so (and pay an advertisement fee???).

The software giant refuses to discuss or acknowledge an upcoming update, Windows Phone 8.1, but a recent software development kit leak has highlighted the huge number of feature changes that will arrive in the coming months and put Windows Phone more on par with iOS and Android. One of the main feature additions is Cortana, a personal digital assistant named after Microsoft's Halo game series. "It looks like you're trying to make a call, would you like help with that?"

Hope MS get's back into game in mobile space.
