Microsoft Axes Freelancers, Contract Writers At MSN
According to Reuters, Microsoft will be laying off over 100 employees at MSN. I could have sworn they just hired a bunch of people at MSN last year. 
The pruning of MSN writers, who contribute end edit columns, blogs and features to the site, comes just two months after Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced a radical reorganization of the company, which is only now starting to take effect. A person familiar with the situation said the cuts could affect more than 100 people in all.
