Microsoft really empower their Windows 8 development teams


Microsoft multitasking
So Microsoft have this Windows 8 development blog that they use to communicate changes and concepts about the new Operating System.
As I have said before, it’s been a really novel and fresh approach to software life cycle development.
At the end of this process, when Windows 8 is launched, nobody will be able to credibly say, Microsoft didnt care about the customers and didn’t listen to feedback.
That would be nonsense.
There is however something else that has impressed me.
Steven Sinofsky seems to have empowered his senior development staff and given them the largest stage that they will probably ever have to express their thoughts and concepts.
Now I’m not trying to get all sentimental here and say that Microsoft is the greatest place to work blah blah blah..
I will say that it’s pretty cool when your (world famous) boss takes the time and trouble to let you shine and give you exposure.
Senior management around the world could learn a thing or two from this man.
In this scenario, it’s a win win situation. His team is clearly talented and that comes across and he gets credit for letting them shine.
I can’t speak for the whole company but I can say this looks pretty good looking in from the outside.
