Microsoft's new Chief Technology Officer Ray Ozzie, who formerly ran Groove and has been tapped to head up Redmond's Web services strategy, has started blogging. He promises not to simply plug Microsoft products, but instead "reply and converse with you in a manner that scales."

Ozzie admits that, "At times there will be controversies I just can't or won't engage in," but says, "I'm involved in many interesting and varied issues here that have potentially broad impact, so there's probably a lot more I'll want to converse about." What is Ozzies's blog software of choice? MSN Spaces, of course. "I figured that if it works so well for 25 million other bloggers, it might even work for me," he writes.
