Something a little humorous to send us off to the weekend:
"After already having drunk its own Elixir, Microsoft on Friday passed the bottle around.
Speaking to a crowd of Office developers, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates showed off Project Elixir--an internal effort that lets Microsoft's sales force use Outlook to access customer data from a Siebel database.
"Office is the software that is used more than any other at work," Gates said. Gates also touted the benefits of interoperability among programs, making many of the same points that he did in an e-mail on Thursday.
Gates also showed his lighter side, poking fun at the doodles he recently left behind at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Handwriting analysts, who thought the sketch was from Tony Blair, said the scribble indicated the writer was either "struggling to concentrate" or "not a natural leader" or "frustrated and tense."
Gates showed a fake copy of his sketch, which had messages like "So hungry--need cheeseburger" and "I miss Clippy."
But then, he was reduced to pad and paper instead of a Tablet PC running OneNote, a note-taking application that Microsoft debuted with Office 2003.
"If I'd had OneNote, it would have been a lot better," he said. "
