There was a sort of respect for people's privacy that never really had to be mentioned. I always wondered how long it would last. Regardless if it's true or not, I guess I sort of feel this hops over that boundary a bit - even if you're just talking of a scar. Not a big deal, but the consequence is people like Steve may have to stop going and I think that would be a real shame, this is one of the ways they're able to make a 70,000 person company feel smaller. It is a pretty sweet gym though.. if only I could find something remotely similar in London. Here, I get Robbie Williams and a bunch of yuppie bankers instead of Steve... No big deal, but I'd hate to see a more in-depth follow up to this one at MS or anywhere else.
