At MSFT, were you "program", "project", or "product"? My understanding, three very different, frequently confused roles there.

Program Manager -- it was closest to the metal (work day to day with engineers, designers, testers, and marketing) -- but was far too much paper pushing.

I was a program manager intern; compared to what I now know about product management, it was too far from actual code and too far from actual users to really be useful. However, as an internship it taught me a hell of a lot.
