The Silent Microsoft Exodus?
,----[ Quote ]
| A few months ago when Robert Scoble and Niall Kennedy left Microsoft,
| the blogosphere got twittery. There were arguments and counter
| arguments. Ironically there are more senior executives who have left
| in recent days, and haven't sparked much discourse, even though their
| presence (or not) could have an impact on the bottom line of Microsoft.

| Vista looks like a pile of crap compared to Mac OS X and Ubuntu with
| GLX. Their software is buggy, overpriced, and stress inducing. Their
| development tools are staid, designed and developed by committees to
| solve every problem you could ever conceive of, while being ideally
| suited to solving none.

| Niall Kennedy, a high-profile hire from Technorati who joined Microsoft
| in April 2006 as Program Manager for syndication with the Windows Live
| team, has quit. And quit with a bang. From Kennedy's "Leaving
| Microsoft" post: "Windows Live is under some heavy change,
| reorganization, pullback, and general paralysis and unfortunately my
| ability to perform, hire, and execute was completely frozen as well."
| Ouch. Kennedy is off to do a startup, according to his blog, as of August
| 18.
