If she goes back to Intel, that would be interesting.

A couple of years ago as I remember, Microsoft hired as their Global Linux Officer or something some guy who had worked on Linux for 20 years at Oracle. They made a big show of how they had to lure him to Seattle, convince his family, etc.

6 months later, he’s back at Oracle...

Why would anyone intentionally go back to Oracle? I guess executive bonus packages must be really big.

I lived in Seattle for a little over three years

I loved the weather, personally. But I know lots of people who didn't

There's always California if you want sunlight I suppose :)
