I'm interested in Microsoft too
Hugh, I’m interested in Microsoft too, but for a few different reasons. As a large Microsoft partner I am getting ring side seat to a lot of the changes that are going on there and I think it is going to be a classic business reinvention story when it unfolds. Whether it’s an example of…
