You can't get more button-down, corporate and boring than the word "Microsoft."
The above words were clearly written by someone without a sense of industry perspective. Um, how about IBM?
Yes, the industry has changed since the days when Microsoft had programmers who worked in their offices coding in the nude, and maybe IBM is as edgy as Microsoft in some ways, what with their Linux adoption and whatnot. But I think the premise of this article is flawed. Ever been on the Yahoo campus? Then what is the basis behind these judgments?
Just because it has a silly early '90s dot-com name doesn't mean the culture is so different.
