#22I fail to understand how a group of smart, well paid executives all got in a room, wrote down these ideas, and no one said this was dumb.

#23If your company executives were lazy enogh to check your LinkedIn profile up to now, don't worry Microsoft will allow them to do it automatically.

I suspect you're being downvoted because your sarcasm isn't obvious enough. Either that or you're living in a parallel universe where LinkedIn is a completely different company.
Making a post without explicitly labeling it as sarcasm is always a risky maneuver but I prefer the nuance.
One must always keep in mind that HN can be disturbingly anti humour for the sake of "rational" discourse.

Isn't the point of that action center to be integrated with apps that have notifications to push?
I thought so. But surely then the announcement would be "LinkedIn Windows Store app coming soon". I read it as some lower level integration with the Live account I use to sign in to Windows. Perhaps I'm being overly paranoid.
Action Center supports standard web notifications too.

#26I've closed my LinkedIn account half a year ago and besides less spam from recruiters, my life goes on happily.
I don't think LinkedIn brought any value to me or to my career.. I didn't find a better job and frankly I probably don't want the job that someone on LinkedIn is offering.
$ 26B / 450M users ~= $57 / user
That's how much MS paid for my account. So they think it's valuable, but not for me.

#27> LinkedIn notifications within the Windows action center Err... I'm not sure I like the sound of this. Isn't this just for application updates / system stuff?
Now you can notification on birthdays, job changes and everything, and you can't even turn it off. Just like their mobile app.

#28Rarely has future product announcements (the tight integrations) been this disappointing. Not since the MBP at least.

#29Is there anything stopping them from using crazy analytics on LinkedIn and poaching "the best" employees from their competitors? Just a thought...

#30> Redefining social selling through the combination of Sales Navigator and Dynamics 365
When the acquisition was first announced, I stated that Salesforce should be very concerned.[0] Account-based marketing (what they're calling "social selling") is how successful startups (and others) sell to enterprises these days, and they're willing to shell out cash to software that helps them do that.[1] Having consulted many enterprise SaaS companies, I know that having the LinkedIn social graph integrated into their CRM would be worth the hassle of switching from Salesforce to Dynamics 365.
[0] Same reason why I'm selling my Salesforce holdings today.
[1] See dozens of VC-backed ABM software companies sprouting up everywhere and charging $xx,000 annually.
