Microsoft and Metcalfe’s Law

Microsoft have finally figured out that Metcalfe’s Law applies to them as much as the next software company - despite their huge footprint. To quote Microsoft’s CEO and CMM (Chief Mad-Monkey) Steve Balmer :
“In a more connected, services-oriented world…one of the greatest value-adds in some sense is what people do on the other end of the wire”
Bang-on Steve - couldn’t have put it better myself. Let’s see how wide the Kimono opens before Balmer get’s shy. Ick - that’s a poor choice of metaphor - sorry if I’ve spoiled your lunch.
