Summary: Adam Kapel says goodbye to Microsoft and moves to another company

MICROSOFT has suffered from major departures and layoffs recently. The latest reported departure (amongst other colleagues in this “aQuantive Exodus”) does not bode well for Microsoft on its special "party day", which already falls short of the standards set by Windows Vista's launch in 2007.

The aQuantive brain drain continues. Two years after Microsoft gobbled up the Seattle online advertising powerhouse for $6 billion, top executives from the company continue to find employment elsewhere.

Microsoft's real pain comes tomorrow when the stock market opens. Microsoft will have sobered up by then, only to have a nagging hangover. ⬆
