I recall somewhere in the 2002 timeframe having a discussion with someone that worked at Microsoft. The anti-open source attitude, and the anti-innovation attitude more generally, made Microsoft a place where you only took the job for the money I was told. It was a dark place to work. Your job was to protect the status quo, and that meant you were supposed to prevent progress. I had a hard time believing it at the time, but it was probably true.
