There's a New Web Site in Town

Call it Redmond Report Take 2. Last week, we launched a new Web site that's so simple in concept, even I could've thought it up (but I didn't; my boss Henry Allain did).

Redmond Report (yup, it shares its name with this here newsletter) is simply a bunch of links from a bunch of sites to a bunch of stories about Microsoft.

Like I said, pretty dang simple. Already, the site has stories about Vista Service Pack 1, a new Word exploit and advice about what company Microsoft should buy (instead of Yahoo).

So click over to RedmondReport.com, then write me at [email protected] and let me know what you think.
