I've read this several times before, and every time I do it hurts just as much.

Every time I read of another person who built something useful, so much so that it gets recognised by big-corp X, and being called in by Google or Microsoft, promised the recognition (and pay) they deserve, then having the rug pulled at light-speed from under them, I take it personally.

I'm amazed, every time I read "The Day AppGet Died" at the restraint shown, which makes it hurt that little bit more.

Keivan should probably be a (multi) millionaire now, sitting comfortably with his family doing whatever it is they enjoy doing. Instead, someone at Microsoft used this as a way to get themselves a promotion.

Don't be fooled by the lipstick, Microsoft has never stopped being EEEvil.
