To quote Joshua Allen, “Evangelism is about telling the truth and shining the light.” Part of telling the truth is understanding how things really work from the customer’s point of view. Since I work with customers everday, I can see the benefit of this (I also work closely with our DPE field and Redmond teams as much as possible). [...] […] This is a great point by Dave.

Often the most important task of outreach is inreach - eating one's own dog food. One aspect of the "what has MS done that's innovative/interesting?" probe is that the most significant thing has been to cause (almost directly and almost surely causative) connection of billions of people. The other most obvious "interesting" outcome is that millions of kids' lives have been surely saved by vaccinations, etc. We should never divorce the greed/monopoly issue from the revolution in philanthropy in the tradition of Carnegie made libraries ubiquitous. I fail to see that there is no precedence in all that for google's purported adoption of the Hippocratic "first do no harm" principle. Essentially "Christian" without claims to be such. If MS is nothing more than a complex way to take action in ending starvation it excuses any quibbles about how/why. Love.
