Jag är inte heller en Microsoft-talesman på svenska

The Swedes haven’t quite figured out that my blog entries do not constitute the official position of Microsoft Corporation. I like how they don’t even mention my name anywhere. They just say “Microsoft doesn’t this” and “Microsoft doesn’t that”. If you go back to the article they used as a source, you’ll see that I provided a variety of reasons for not going into the Start menu point system, but this author decided to claim that reason 1 was not only the only reason but in fact the official reason.

Perhaps I should have used a CGI script which randomized the order of the items each time you refreshed.

Author

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
