I'll agree with you there, but the devil pays very well
And the last name of the first guy I have to interview with is Scola.
Do you think I should open it up by asking him if he and Luis are related?

Don't do it directly.
First, casually find out if he's a Spurs fan. This could be done a number of ways, including wearing a Spurs tie (If you don't have one, you are not a true Spurs fan). If he is, just start calling him "Luis" for the rest of the interview. He won't have the balls to correct you, so wait until he gets the joke.

Dude...don't wear a Spurs tie to a job interview. Carry a penant.
The way I look at it...
* I won't be working on XP or Vista
* I won't be working on anything related to email
* I won't be working on anything related to IE
* I will be working on something completely new that no one else has on the market right now
Yeah I know, those are weak, but Big Brother is calling
AHF = Sellout
big time sellout.
As long as AHF supplies SpursTalk with registration codes for Microsoft products, all will be forgotten.
Yes, Indeed.
AHF = Sellout
Working on a new software project, something that isn't out there right now (at least, to the best of my research) in any form.what will u be doing then?
I had to sign a NDA prior to getting the interview, so I can't even talk about it :/

Contract or "real" employee?
AHF,
I wish you the best!
Na it's no sellout. They are good solid company.
Vista has a pixel shader / GPU driven 3d interface and directX 10 API's.
As far as Microsoft they just have a bad rap from people that don't know anything about computing. And no browsing a website or using a forum is not proof of guruship.
The Intel X86 instruction set has been public for years. You can order the books for it from Intel. What does that mean? Means that all these years anyone could of got off there lazy ass and wrote some new OS's. But they didn't.. Linix is a port of existing UNIX. Mac well.. they went X86 so they lost the war but they try to make commercials that lie about there loss.
Real employee. Actually the product I'd be working on is internal, but I could easily see it going public down the road.
I feel like the position is something I'm not quite ready for yet experience wise, but I'm going to give it a shot. They obviously saw something they liked to even invite me to Seattle...
Thanks!AHF,
I wish you the best!
Whatever you do, Aggie, don't tell them how much you in a San Antonio Spurs message forum.
Good luck Aggie.
I don't understand the Microsoft hate either.
The more money you make, the more elpimpo communists are out there to hate you.
Cool, maybe you can comeback and give us the inside info on the management structure and how they stick it to the man, kind've like Best Buy.And the last name of the first guy I have to interview with is Scola.

Seriously... Good Luck.
First Manny shops at Walmart.
Now AHF interviews at Microsoft.
What's next?
Some people get bent out of shape over poor quality and deception.
Personally, I would not call them Communists.
pardon me.
Elpimpo calling people neocons and facists that vote conservative, is just his way of "venting"
right right..
Hes not liberal aka communist, what so ever.
GNU/Linux is no port of UNIX. It's a complete re-write, and SCO is full of . Microsoft was great in the DOS days when they produced an affordable operating system for people who didn't need and could not afford a UNIX, but now they're jerking everyone around for $300 to have a buggy, bloated piece of software they don't own. Not that Linux is great on the desktop right now either... it's a joke how many stupid distros there are and how much they all vary. If Apple would drop their requirement that people use Apple hardware to run OSX I'm sure it would take a lot of Windows share since it has good hardware support and many fewer security holes.
Microsoft sucks because they don't try to make their software work well... it seems like they focus on adding stupid features that they can market instead of making the base product decent to begin with. Perhaps they should thoroughly and consistently audit their code the way OpenBSD does. Lord knows Bill has the money to do it.
At Brooks we had MS DOS Z100's. No hard drive just 2 floppies
Like 5000 of them haha. MS old school.. pre windows.
