Ray Ozzie speaks out
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Except for a financial analysts event in July, Microsoft's incoming chief software architect has been decidedly quite. His last blog post was April Fool's Day. This morning, Ray Ozzie finally broke his silence.
Ozzie answered questions, many of them leading, at the Goldman Sachs Technology Investment Symposium.
There's a saying about talking much but saying little. While Ozzie shed some light on Microsoft's servicesor software-as-a-servicestrategy, he offered more vagaries than specifics. Still, by piecing together the little he said with the much we know about Microsoft, the hour-long Q&A illuminates Microsoft's services direction. Unfortunately, there is little apparent change in that direction from when Ozzie spoke to financial analysts last July.
