Seems a bit strange for a lot of people if I say that Microsoft is open and
it's always available to share its ideas, to listen its customer's feedback, but
only guys who reads every day Microsoft's "inside" blogs (blogs.msdn.com and blogs.technet.com) can totally understand
me. 
Microsoft has totally joined the "Blogosphere" and its new philosophy to
start a big blog's community inside the company is growing every day more. Lots
of Microsoft's Team has a personal blog where you can read every day news, tips,
secret, future programs, request for feedbacks, offers etc.
This new "style of life" is extremely wonderful for us: we can share ideas
directly with the Teams, we can be always in touch with the latest news and, if
we have a request or a problem, guys inside Microsoft are always so kind to
answer.
The numbers recently given (157 million hits on April) are a clear sign that
these blogs are a terrible success (and an unvaluable source of
informations)!
Redmond, please please please never stop blogging!
