MS under attack from the Scobleizer

Yep. This is interesting.

Robert Scoble, over at his Scobleizer blog posted an interesting piece on March 16. In it he critiques some recent Microsoft activity, specifically some comments about Google and how Microsoft sees the competitive landscape in the future.

Mr. Scoble used to work for Microsoft and indeed it was during that time that he came to fame as a major figure in the blogosphere (if you like that term). He proved I suppose that you could work for a big corporation and operate a blog and it need not bring harm to either party.

He left some time ago, can't remember exactly when, and is generally favourable I think towards his former employer.

But this stance seems perhaps to be changing. It's interesting.

What's perhaps even more interesting is that the piece has been picked up by the London Times on their website today. So it's not just a case of Scoble's regular readers seeing the piece. It's getting pretty wide readership via The Times today.
