A comment on Time crystals might exist after all. Parent comment
I was working on Data Visualization at the time.
Then SQL Server decided they wanted data visualization, so they bought the entire team from MSR.
Turned out it was mostly just a way to get headcount. Pretty much everyone left or went off to other projects within six months of the transfer.
I was one of the last ones to stick around in SQL Server but it was totally depressing so I eventually quit.
In retrospect I should have done is to move to a different project in MSR. Oh well.
But MSR was cool!
