There are people who want MS to change, but then again, there are those who fear it and those who enjoy the status quo, b/c it's easy. I think you'll like the motto of my blog: Change the way Microsoft and our partners do marketing...or Get Fired Tryin' You are right.

It's to do with the brand police. Sometimes I think that such inertial forces, seemingly common in large enterprises, are actually figments of our imagination. Fed by our fears and insecurities. The reason I think this is the number of times they seem yo disappear when people actually DO something rather than TALK about doing something. Maybe we keep pushing at doors marked pull. Just a thought. This is not about Microsoft per se, but I am intrigued by something Steve says here. It’s to do with the brand police.

There is no inside or outside and Blue Monster is a great example of that. It started off as an email Hugh sent to 4 people and it's grown from there both internally and externally. To those who think it's contrived all I can say is "it isn't". In fact I keep wondering when the brand police are going to call me or when I'm going to get the "wtf are you doin Clayton" email. So far so good and I think it's actually too late for anyone to stop this train now but it's also important that the drivers are not the suits and are not just internal. This is about the power of the community and the employees trying to change something. I agree with your closing sentiments wholeheartedly here JP.
