Ray Ozzie Is Blogging (again)

I was reading Ray Ozzie's latest post. Now that he is Chief Technical Officer for Microsoft he has decided to fill us in from time to time about what he is up to. He hints that he may post some neat little tidbits next week.

I started reading his history and found it very interesting that he was hired back in the 1981 by Dan Bricklin at VisiCalc (the inventor of the first spreadsheet program and predecessor of Lotus 123). He was then Hired by Lotus and is the inventor of Lotus Notes.

Quite a impressive career to say the least. Microsoft purchased his company Groove Networks. It will be interstate to see how they integrate Groove's technology as they start to roll out more web based services.

I have added Ray's blog to my required reading list. More to come...
