>>Why would Microsoft move them if they couldn't be used more profitably in >>the new situation? > >Gary, > >Because it is part of the Microsoft philosophy that moving folks to new challenges hones their skills and keeps them creative and productive. Microsoft people move from product to product all the time. It is part of the Microsoft culture to do that. > I guess I wasn't very clear. What I'm talking about is the projects. The individuals who work on the projects don't really enter into the equation. If project A is going to generate three times the profit of project B, the emphasis is going to be on project A even if project B can still turn a profit. The purpose of any business is not just to make a profit; it's to _maximize_ that profit. Gary J. Sibio Mr. Travel, Inc. >>> Please Mr. Gates, can we have our computers back? <<<
