>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Russinovich "Russinovich joined Microsoft in 2006, when it acquired Winternals Software." I doubt he phoned them asking for a job though... I'm sure they waved a very large cheque at him to entice him over to the Dark Side. I used to work with a (good) programmer who wanted to join M$ - basically he wanted to do anything at all. I think he joined their TV division... not sure how well that went for him (anyone got an MS TV?). Surprisingly, I went for a job interview a good few years ago (might have been in Exeter???) and it was a small software company that was "writing" M$ Wallet. During the interview, the phone went in a nearby room and it was M$... basically everyone had to drop everything and go sort out whatever the problem was right there and then, or (presumably) the work went elsewhere. I didn't get the job. Thankfully. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
