Is Microsoft Ready to Listen to Campus IT?
8/10/2005
By Terry Calhoun
Campus Technology--Can
someone get me invited to lurk?--as writers as well as leaders on their campuses);
and they cover a nice range of large/small, private/public, two- and four-year,
and research oriented institutions.
So now the Higher Education Advisory Board, either renamed or there is confusion
about the name, as the Higher Education Advisory Group, is back in action, beginning
with some web-based discussions.
So, it appears that Microsoft will hold some frank, multi-sided discussions
during which people can intelligently disagree. Thank goodness it has not really
adopted the White House Press Conference model. That’s definitely a good
thing! It’s nice to see the head of something major getting irritated,
disagreeing, and listening to people who disagree and who have different perspectives.
