Mini Microsoft
Mini-Microsoft. Wow, written up in Business Week, Slashdot, etc. Shows the power of the web when someone can put up a site like this about the insides of a company. Wonder how long it will last, so read it while it lasts. Some really greet insider comments. It took me an hour to read one…
