I don't think any of his opinions expressed are actually a turnaround from his previous statements. He used to talk about the good things at Microsoft and not mention the bad things. Now he is talking about the good things at Google (with comparison to bad things at Microsoft), and not mentioning the bad things at Google (which I won't attempt to enumerate, since I work at Yahoo). I think he is just trying to remain upbeat about his sudden and clearly quite wrenching departure from a job he loved at a company he respected.
