Some Developers Leaving Google For Microsoft
recoiledsnake writes "We have heard about lots of talented developers jumping ship from Microsoft to Google, but is the trend beginning to turn? Dare Obasanjo (a Microsoft employee) writes about a few high-profile people picking Microsoft over Google — either making the jump directly, or choosing Microsoft after receiving offers at both. Sergey Solyanik is back to Microsoft and he primarily gripes about the culture and lack of career development at Google. He writes, 'Everything is pretty much run by [engineering] — PMs and testers are conspicuously absent from the process. Google as an organization is not geared — culturally — to delivering enterprise class reliability to its user applications.' Danny Thorpe, who was the key architect of Google Gears, is back at Microsoft for his second stint working on developer technologies related to Windows Live."

Next time, state your arguments instead of just 'i disagree'.
That's a lot of /. in a nutshell right there - they 'see' the consumer face and from their basements think that's all there is to see.
Couln't agree more, Sharepoint is far from being hot: overly complicated licenced, early technology, blatantly copied from MSFT's direct competitors with one big advantage and that is easy intregration with other Microsoft products, ofcourse.
