Let's say you're a small guy. ... What will make you more valueable? Your relationships with key program managers at Microsoft. Why is that? Well, let's see, if a client is hitting a wall, in, say C#'s new reflection features, and you can open your IM up and ask the guy who runs the C# team a quick question right in front of your client, think you'll get the job? [The Scobleizer Weblog]
Oh yeah, really, we can all chat to the program managers can we? Or just those who go to the PDC, manage to find the relevant guy and amonst all the other 1000s of developers also chasing him/her and manage to convince him/her that 'we' are the one to let the contact out too. I know he's an evangelist but Scoble is loosing touch with reality (as for at one point Gates asked something like "how can we do better for our customers?" - oh gawd, give me a break).
