Microsoft makes the "101 Dumbest Moments in Business" list

Australian Post Posted by Sarah Stokely at 3:59 PM on December 21, 2007
Microsoft (or rather it's PR company) made Fortune magazine's list of the 101 Dumbest Moments in Business list for 2007, for its gaffe when it inadvertently sent a dossier on Wired journalist  - to the journo himself. The 13 page dossier described him as "tricky" among other things - and of course became a pretty meaty story for Wired itself. That little PR disaster is old news, but I thought Fortune's list might make for some cruisy Friday afternoon before Christmas reading. :)
