    Sorry to hear that you sold out. Oh well, I'm sure you can justify it to yourself.

    The giant piles of money really do help ease my conscience. <3

    Joking aside, the story I tell myself is that Microsoft is a very different company than it used to be. I don't think I could have worked for Mr. Balmer, but Mr. Nadella is very different man. (How different? e.g. My primary workstation ran Linux and was supported for a data center migration project when I needed it.) The other part of it is that I feel I have more impact driving change inside the company vs. shouting at the gates.

      I don't trust Nadella even as far as my WFH atrophied muscle can throw a stick (but that's irrelevant and inconsequential anyway).
      But I like how the dotnet is progressing since it started as OSS - a lot better than Java and certainly well ahead of many other proglangs, PERL and Python included.
