Things must be bad…

You kind of get an idea as to how bad the current economic climate is when Microsoft announce further job cuts.  While I was checking my RSS feeds this morning this was really made apparent with both Steve Riley and Eileen Brown announcing on their blogs that they were both victims of this second wave of redundancies.  On more than one occasion I’ve been lucky enough to hear them present at various MS events, including TechEd, on security and UC, and I’m pretty sure that neither of them will be out of work for very long.  I know that they won’t have been the only people that MS will have made redundant, but if they' need to lay off people like Steve and Eileen then things must be grim.
