Mary Jo Foley came to Microsoft yesterday to talk about her new book on Microsoft 2.0 and to answer any questions about why she’s been reporting on Microsoft for over 20 years now.

We had a great session and Mary Jo was really candid about what she thinks we’ve done wrong in the past – where she thinks we’ll be in another 5 years time – she’s convinced that our software plus services story, when it’s told at the PDC next week.

As the interviewer, it was my job to manage the flow of questions coming our way, so I didn’t have much time to take notes.  Fortunately Mark took loads of notes and recorded everything.  Mark I need to hire you as my secretary :-)  I might even get round to posting the podcast that I did. 

Mary Jo – great to see you – dinner in new York next time perhaps?

but all in all – a very interesting session…
