"We will exterminate some of our overlap through redundancy — but we will treat people respectfully." Full wide ranging interview here. I'm not sure how respectful it is to talk about "exterminating" jobs, but hopefully they will leave Blizzard's developers alone to continue producing games such as Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, and World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King."

That is a quote from one of a batch of Microsoft Vista RC SP1 whitepapers dated today, entitled "Enterprise Guidance for Application Compatibility Testing and Windows Vista SP1." In the same document they also state that SP1 may break Vista compatibility, "There is a chance that some applications ultimately will not run on the final version of Windows Vista SP1, even though they run on Windows Vista today.""
