If I recall correctly this was ground level of building 115, now renamed Studio G. Someone from Mac BU cruising the halls on a Razor scooter while wearing a propellor beanie once gave me a peek in that lab.

In Redmond?

I seem to remember MacBU was in San Jose, maybe that was before this post? Or were things split between the locations?

I started working in MacBU about 3 years after the article. It was split between the two locations when I joined. (Outlook for Mac and PowerPoint were both in California.) These photos look like Building 115 to me, though I didn't go into this particular lab often. After this, the team moved to Building 31 and later Building 35, if I remember correctly.

One thing that was interesting about MacBU was that it was in a completely separate division from the rest of Office (i.e. Windows Office). That gave the team a really cool outsider vibe and the team had a really nice close-knit culture.
