MS gets bloggers

Thomas Hawk has a cool write up of a dinner MS's PR firm organized for select bloggers with Jim Allchin and some other execs.

It contains a good write-up of some of Vista's cool features, but also some good thoughts on DRM, the CableCard announcement a while back, thoughts on Apple, and tons more. A good read.

Also contains this quote which made me happy:

"it is very cool that Microsoft is willing to open up senior management to bloggers. Whether because of Scoble or Waggener Edstrom or whatever, Microsoft gets blogging -- really like no other big company out there. Not only does Microsoft have more employee bloggers than any other company, but I have found the employees at Microsoft and their PR firm Waggener Edstrom very accessible."

Go Scoble go!
