I think that maybe StackExchange qualifies

One of the StackExchange co-founders was an ex-Microsofter.

Which links with one of the previous posts about Microsoft wanting to be "cool" to developers again. The bright sparks who will go on to found massive tech firms might join a big tech firm first for a few years - odds are they will keep a good relationship with them in their new venture. If all the startups are being founded by ex-Google, ex-Apple, ex-Facebook folk then that will only further harm Microsoft.
