    Window didn't just leave Microsoft to join Mozilla, she actually left awhile back to be one of the co-founders of Matasano Security, http://www.matasano.com/. Founding a company is a good reason to leave a company ;) She did a great job at Microsoft, and I'm sure she is going to do a great job at Mozilla.
