Microsoft Tools Group Adopts Open Floor Plan

One of the perks for working at Microsoft used to be that engineers with seniority would have private offices . As the 'cool' companies increasingly adopt open floor plans to facilitate face-to-face interactions, this tradition appears to be heading to the Recycle Bin; for example, the building in Microsoft's Redmond campus occupied by Visual Studio devs has been recently remodeled to eliminate most offices and cubicles. Separately, Intel (once a notorious cube farm company) appears to be moving in the same direction. Apparently nobody under age twenty-eight noticed any changes.

Can't figure out how to include links in summary (Score: 1)

The ones I embedded using literal A tags vanished. Then I tried with HTML ampersand escapes - that raised an error "Invalid value..".

Maybe this is just me.

Ampersands where disabled until this weekend. They should work now.
