> Why would they try to recruit from Microsoft?
I'm not sure if you read my post correctly, but I never mentioned poaching from Microsoft. I said compete for programmers that would choose to work for Microsoft. I'm also not sure if you understand what Microsoft does. It's a very diverse company with R&D spending that rivals some small nations.
> Microsoft isn't even in this same field (git hosting
Microsoft understands Enterprise and it's quite obvious they want to be a major provider for Git hosting. It will be foolish to believe Microsoft is not focused on owning the Git mindshare in Enterprise.
> Are you an employee there or something
No. Just somebody that understands this problem space.

I guess you haven't heard of https://www.visualstudio.com/team-services/ and their on premise TFS solution that supports Git.
