Wow, more personal insults!
Actually, I left Microsoft because I wanted to have a life. I was on the Cairo team, back when Cairo was an object oriented operating system. (Worked in Building #1) I decided that nobody was interested in doing anything really significant, and in that case it wasn't worth putting in 100 hours a week for industry average pay. There are lots of bright people at Microsoft and some of them are pretty cool, but they are not, by and large, innovative.
By the way, if I'd stayed on, even with the stock options, I would be worth less now than I am. So, leaving was financially more profitable.
Course, if I'm wrong in my assertions about Microsoft lacking innovation, you should be able to come up with a major innovation microsoft has made, right? Should be easy.
