Breakfast with Mary Jo Foley
One other fun thing from VSLive, but not directly related to the show. On Wednesday I had breakfast with Mary Jo Foley. She is the author of the popular online newsletter Microsoft Watch, that I have been reading for a long time. If you want a good, centralized way to keep track of what is going on in and around Microsoft, you need to subscribe to this feed.
Mary Jo is an industry veteran and we had a good time reminiscing about the "old days" and the leading companies and people that are no longer around. Of course, we also shared some interesing thoughts about Microsoft - both the people and the technologies.
While her Microsoft Watch may seem hard-hitting, Mary Jo Foley the person is really pleasant and easy-going.
