They have original thoughts! It's just that those employees get squashed by other divisions or having to meet short term quarterly profits it seems.

There's also the whole giant trillion dollar company doesn't want to invest and let small ideas grow. They only focus on things that move the needle, which isn't much at the size.

Had Microsoft executed and invested, they could have made a come back imo in both search, mobile & hardware. Unfortunately major lack of leadership or they just don't want those areas.

No doubt the individuals have thoughts. It’s just corporate never actually does ANY of them. It’s a MBA mill.
