Not sure about the job part being about Miguel, but it's certainly not true about Nat. Nat interned at Microsoft in 97 and I was his manager. He did a great job and was well liked. I don't think he ever applied for a full time position after graduating as I would have heard about it.

I think it's just that he wanted to do something Open Source based, rather than what Microsoft was doing at the time.

Thanks for the insights! Miguel had Visa issues if I remember it right and could not get a job because of this.

Oh I am. I'm proud of him and his boss, who was also on the same team.
