Yesterday was my last day at Microsoft. I worked there a year. When I reflect on 2009, I think of it as the Year of Darkness. I only wrote a couple blog posts. I was inactive in the OpenID community. I did not talk to press or analysts. I gave no public presentations.
A lot of people
are leaving Microsoft these days.
Many of them get sacked.

If these fellows were assets then it might be a brain drain, but many of these couldn't get jobs elsewhere right out of college. Microsoft had a practice of taking only those that couldn't work elsewhere straight from school. Being employed in the computing industry would spoil the indoctrination and disqualified them for employment at Microsoft.
A shorter explanation might be that there is even fake Enron money to keep them hired has run out.
