Sixty Percent Story Won’t Die
Despite Robert Scoble’s rebuttal, the 60 percent story peddled by Smarthouse, is still running strongly.
Now the Inquirer is weighing in with its own brand of attack against “the Vole”:
“Smarthouse has dug up an internal memo on the changes from Co-President, Platforms Products & Services Division Kevin Johnson to his executive staff. He said that he had made a lot of the changes after talking to staff. One of the people who seems to have had his job changed is Johnson’s other Co-President, Platforms Products & Services Division Jim Allchin. Although his role in Vole has not changed, apparently he will have to report to Johnson from now on.”
So far, everything hinges on this claim that a memo exists by David Richards of Smarthouse. Scoble is suggesting that the Redmond legal eagles are on the case, with an air of resignation.
But there’s still no strong rebuttal from Microsoft.
What’s not being said here?



The reorg part of the story is correct. The part about rewritting the OS is totally false.
