"Levy mentions that Ray used a Twistori style presentation recently to explain himself to Microsoft staff"

I think I know the answer to this already but is there any externally available video of this presentation?

It's my personal belief that a lot of Microsoft doesn't need to be turned around, MS do a great job at so many things. If anything I would say it's perception that needs changing, something that has been helped a lot by consumer devices (e.g. Xbox) that have made MS more of a brand that youngsters can be seen to like. Now if they'd just release the Zune worldwide perhaps more people could see that!

It's going to be a slow, slow process, and I think Ozzie is one of the best guys to have at the helm, but perception seems to be counting for more and more nowadays (see: Apple).
