The Micronews are still a draw for "alumni"
What Wired got wrong (there's a surprise, huh?) was that you don't really need to be a Microsoft employee to get the Micronews. Former employees can sign up as "Alumni" and get access to the ads, including posting priveleges, each week. Another interesting anecdote was that the Micronews ads were so popular, wives / husbands / friends of Microsofties would often ask the employees to get them a copy, or just as likely, to please post an ad, in order to sell something to all those MS conspicuous consumers.
