Being a Microsoft Blogger

...is so frustrating. I have a long list of topics that I'd like to talk more about but find that too many have a conflict with my work.

Often its something that hasn't seen the light of day yet and I can't do any kind of public disclosure. For example, we've made a few changes in later builds of WSE 2.0 and I'd love to talk more about them.

On other occasions, it's topics that we haven't made decisions on; pieces of the product that we don't like and are wondering how to improve, or feature ideas for the next release.

This probably explains why some Microsoftie blogs are content-free and others just die. It seems like a great idea at the time, then you realise you can't actually say too much.

I don't know, I never find a shortage of things to talk about that don't get me in trouble.

Plus, after October 27, we'll all have a LOT to talk about.

Whatever you do, be sure you back-up your files first in case something goes horribly wrong. That's a good tip even if you decide not to implement any anti-spam tools.
