There is a problem here: the best web people will not work with MS tools and that's exactly what MS management will demand.
> Why isn't Microsoft hiring the best Javascripters, CSS, html5
They can't even ship a browser with proper HTML5 support. How do you expect them to be able to hire the best Javascripters, CSSers and HTMLers on the market? They lack the tools to distinguish between them and the low-end of the spectrum.
