Mini-Microsoft On the Release of Windows Vista And Office 2007

Is Mini-Microsoft, the anonymous Microsoft blogger who has created quite a following with his frequently caustic and often justified criticism of the technology behemoth and its leadership, finally satisfied with something the company has done?

I think so, based on a reading of his November 8, 2006, post headlined "Party 'Til the Cows Come Home!  It suggests he's ecstatic, or maybe he's being sarcastic, over the fact that Windows Vista has been released to manufacturing along with the 2007 Microsoft Office System.

On March 21, 2006, he sang a different song in "Vista 2007. Fire the leadership now!" That post drew 588 comments. 

If you want to know a something about Mini, see BusinessWeek.com's September 26, 2005 article headlined "A Rendezvous With Microsoft's Deep Throat." Also see Seattle Times staff columnist Danny Westneat's May 28, 2006, post headlined "Microsoft's mystery insider."

Mini doesn't like attention but he'll get it as long as he is blogging anonymously and taking shots at his company. He has consistently called on company honchos to "slim down Microsoft into a lean, mean, efficient customer pleasing profit making machine!"

I see nothing wrong with that.
