I'm going to add the customary "I love this new MS" line here. About 10 years ago a friend of mine offered to make an introduction with her cousin, who was an exec at MS, to see about a job when I got out of college. I said "no way, they're working on such boring and dull stuff there"

But after having worked in C# for a few years now (loving the language) and seeing all the open source moves they're making, it seems like a really exciting place to work these days.

And I'm sure there's a ton of renewed energy there.
