Tod Nielsen, vice president of developer marketing, becomes the latest in a string of
high-profile departures from the software maker. Nielsen plans to join a startup in the
greater Seattle area.

"For me, personally, the trial was an eye opener. I grew up in Bothel, Washington and
I
thought trials were about truth and justice," he said. "What I really witnessed was
bunch of
lawyers throwing out definitions they didn't understand. The number of people who
had an
understanding of the truth and actually wanted to get to the bottom of things, are few
and
far between."

Nielsen said he will "continue to be a die-hard supporter" of Microsoft. "If anything,
the
judge's decision made me want to stay more -- because I won't be part of the team
that
celebrates when the appeals court overrules him."
