NyTimes: An article on Office XP's new ad campaign focused around not having the paperclip installed by default. The campaign's web site currently has a song and two flash movies, with more to come including a game where you shoot staples at the paperclip.

Overall I think the paperclip would have been better recieved if they didn't have the paperclip interupt as often.

[07:54] <J7> why?
[07:54] <J7> or how, i should say.
[07:54] <lemson> because our smtp service is a hell of a lot faster at relay than qmail
[07:55] <lemson> this is on the same hardware

Microsoft posted the Migration Case Study for Hotmail's move to windows 2000. It's intresting to hear the scale of the deployment. The paper claims that currently hotmail runs 5,000 front end servers.
