Did you see what his excuse for pointing the laser in the cockpit was? He said he was looking at stars with his daughter, and it "accidentally" pointed into an airplane's cockpit.
Am I missing something here? Can someone please explain to me how to use a laser pointer to look at stars?
It's no big surprise to see Microsoft employees almost exclusively using Microsoft products - I am very doubtful that Microsoft gives its employees much freedom, if any, to install the software of their choice.
I visited Amish country this past summer in Ohio, and was amazed when I saw one them answer their cellphone. I felt cheated after just paying a bundle for an Amish quilt.
I agree that experience is probably the most important factor in finding your "dream" job. The degree is important, but it really doesn't matter where it comes from. I got my CS degree last May from a university in Alaska, and I had 3 job offers with great companies before graduating. But I had done an internship and some other programming work while in school.
When it really came down to it, I think these companies were happy that I had a degree, but what mattered most was the actual work experience.
You should stick with what you're doing, and just try to get some hands-on experience while still in school.

Remember the movie "Quiz Show"? I think I smell a conspiracy!
Did I miss something? Was Microsoft's single sign-on vision ever in danger of becoming main stream?
