"They wouldn't. But we aren't talking about a company with the smartest people in the world, we are talking about Microsoft."
Wow, this is ALMOST flamebait. Regardless of what you or I think of the executive and marketing practices of Microsoft, in terms of engineering and programming talent, Microsoft hires and maintains what is the probably the largest pool of genius on planet earth. They recruit from MIT, Berkeley, Caltech, etc. on a regular basis. Don't belittle the people trying to earn a paycheck just because the checkstub says Microsoft on it. Not everyone shares a hatred of Microsoft.
