Vista Shines

Microsoft's earnings shine

$16 billion in revenue and $4.33 billion from the adoptions of Windows Vista!

With all the dire financial news lately this surely is a breath of creative capitalism.

Dotnetjunkies

Just yesterday I learned that Doug Seven is no longer associated with Dotnetjunkies. CMP Media now runs this site along with DDJ and sells the big banner ads you see. In an email exchange with Jon Erickson, DDJ's Editor-in-chief he's asked me to write a few articles on Silverlight and I tried to explain the power of blogging to him, but he just want's articles....
 
Then I had a look at the stats, Dotnetjunkies which is essentially just Paul has more traffic then does DDJ which has an office in San Francisco and a large staff of paid contributors.

Creative Capitalism

The WSJ got an exclusive preview of the Bill Gates Davos creative capitalism talk, that's just an old school capitalist PR tool.
 
Bill should have blogged this himself,  we could have all linked to him and the site could have been sponsored with the proceeds going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. That would have truly been creative capitalism.
