My Interview Experience at Microsoft

Everyone I know there uses Vista (unless they're using something EVEN NEWER WAHAHA)

But really, Vista-hate? Does Vista really get in the way of you opening MS Visual Studio (which seems to be the IDE of the day there)?

Does Visual Studio Rot the Mind?

The only reason I can imagine why Microsoft would put its programmers, device vendors, third-party developers, and ultimately its customers, through this much pain is because once this copy protection is entrenched, Microsoft will completely own the distribution channel. http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html

It doesn't. But since drag'n'drop doesn't work with Vista and UAC the Visual Studio experience is really a lot worse.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the real engineers don't use visual studio. I've heard VIM is popular.

I'm pretty sure most of the engineers at Microsoft use Visual Studio.

And I'm pretty sure they run Windows too.
