You seem to be on the inside so I'm curious on why she'd want to leave just at the point where things were working out? Any insights on that?

Obligatory Overload

First of all, Window's working at Microsoft. This is too much.

Second Mozilla nabs her. Ironic No.
Microsft's Window jumps ship to Firefox.......(of all the headlines we mangle here this one's begging for it.)

The comedic possibilities are overwhelming. But here is the strangest one. Mozilla supplies her with 3 workstations. For compatability reasons she's gonnan need a Mac, a Linux, and a Windows box.

....

wait for it.

But now they are all window's machines. Gasp, This woman is dangerous and must be stopped.

In all seriousness, If she had anything to do with the sp2 patches, she is my new personal hero.

Welcome to the light. Don't be afraid. No, no, we promise, it's definately not open sores, I don't care what those dicks in the cafeteria said.
O.K maybe not in all seriousness.

Did your momma give you that name?!?

She (not he!) is such a babe, I could ALMOST forgive her for being named after Microsoft's flagship product!
