Scoble relates a comment from a blogger who questions Microsoft’s ability to “wrap its head” around the concept of Web 2.0 while it considers its users “customers” not “creators”.

So, if you consider every customer a creator who takes your product and service to invent something else — does that change your relationship with that “creator”?
