- davidw 17y agoOk, but the way it's written up, it's not very effective due to the fact that he's being paid by the company whose products he is now so enthusiastically embracing. I think it would look a little bit more genuine if there were a thing or two he missed, or something he's ditching for a product that doesn't just happen to be a Google product. The real news item is not "Google employee uses Google products", but that Google is hiring a guy that seems to be well regarded and that MS, for whatever reason, let go, which most commentators seem to indicate was a smart move for Google and a dumb one for MS; but I guess he can't really say that himself without coming across badly.
