Why is this site called Microsoft Confidential?

First and foremost, we’re called Microsoft Confidential because it is a cool name and the domain wasn’t taken.

But there’s a second and perhaps more interesting reason. We’ve kept our names confidential. That’s right, we’re not planning on revealing our real names anytime soon. Of course, if this blog gets really famous and we need to ‘fess up in order to collect all the cash that’s another matter.

So, in terms of the content being confidential – probably not, although we will happily report breaking news. If you’ve got a cool rumour (that you can substantiate) let us know.

The purpose of this blog is to report on all things Microsoft. We love most of their stuff (except perhaps SharePoint which is still pretty shitty even though it is up to version 3) and plan to write about it.

Posts are usually brief and to the point, and could even be just link posts in many cases.

We want to be your first stop on the Microsoft road, and will achieve that by giving you access to the latest news and thought leadership going on.

Basically (and prepare yourself for a big fucking egotistical call here) we want to be the first and foremost blog talking about Microsoft.

We say nice stuff about the good things Microsoft does and we stick it to them when they fuck up. It’s that simple.

Now, enough of reading this useless post, go and read something newsworthy.
