Microsoft Loses Key Engineer to Google

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the google-os-rumors-aflutter dept.

galdur writes "Microsoft Watch reports Marc Lucovsky, one of Microsoft's key Windows architects has defected to Google. His confidence in Microsoft's ability to ship software seems to have waned, too. Some hypothesize Google working on an OS but in the wake of Google's inroads into Ajax tech applications (GMail, Suggest, Maps), I think Google may have other plans for the chief software architect for Microsoft's .Net My Services ("Hailstorm")" CT Many users are reporting 404s on the Microsoft Watch article, but its working fine for others. Hopefully they'll fix their server soon.

    Mod this offtopic, but watch how quickly someone twists this into a plug for OSX (this post not included).

    You watch! It's an Amazing Slashdot Phenomenon(tm)!

  3. Slashdot formatting not right? by jgoemat · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is it just me, or is the formatting a little messed up? In both Firefox 1.0 and Mozilla 1.7.3 the articles on the front page overlap with the sections on the far left. This is only after I log in however. This just started this last week, but for quite a while I have a problem sometimes when reading an article where the text is all garbled up to the left. If I refresh the page it usually fixes itself. Could it be something with certain ads?
