The office with a door thing was how Microsoft was back in the day, if I remember correct. From the stories I heard, some of the offices were ridiculously small/narrow but they still had a door.

Joel was a Program Manager for Excel at MS so my guess is he brought that mindset over.

Really, I wish more places would go back to that. Being able to work with minimal interruptions is great.

Ironically, after working in cubicles and hurk open floor plans for most of my career, now I have an office with a door. Ten feet from my bedroom. ;)
