Scott Mitchell - Fabrikam Product Manager!

Everybody's favorite fictional company used for Microsoft demos - Fabrikam - has apparently hired me as a Product Manager... although I've yet to receive a letter of employment. It was this Office Groove 2007 demo that clued me in to my new position. You can fast-forward to the second chapter and right there they start talking about me and my collaborations with other Fabrikam employees around the world. It appears that my new position has be based out of New York, but apparently I get to travel back to San Diego on occassion when working from the PR firm.

Thanks to alert reader Gary Chin for giving me the heads up on my new job.

You are also the main character in the new Tom Clancy Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (GRAW).

Congrats Scott. But why do you want to work under someone. For me you are always boss of all bosses:)

Sweet, shall I forward you my resume? I believe that I am Fabrikam material. I think that I would be good for Fabrikam because there is no hard evidence that I exist beyond that fact that I am writing this, I have no traceable achievements or successes in the market, though I do seem to get paid, and of course, I have a cool (last) name, because it's spelled with a k.

Viva La Darren Kopp!

Will Fabrikam be re-released. I had CD ordered but they did not send it and when I inquired they said it had been discontinued for a while.

Will there be a re-release prior to Office 2007?

Thanks

'Fraid I don't have a clue, Pat. What can I say? Even with my new job title, they don't tell me squat! ;-)
