What Hacker News says?
OP here. I've spent some time at Microsoft, and have only good things to say about my experience. My qualm isn't with the company, but rather, the content, approach and flippant tone of Kevin's post. Having previously worked there, that's not something I'd expect from the company, which is disappointing. (cross posted this back to http://blog.derrickko.com/microsoft-and-startups )
