It's probably worth it to remember that until very recently, Google required it's UX leads to be capable of producing production ready HTML, Javascript, etc. Is Google not serious about UX? Let's be serious here...
As you can tell from my signature and email address, I'm a MS employee, so I may be a little biased. While it's frustrating, as a UX practicioner, to see some of the language used in the postings, I will say that the organization as a whole is getting the importance of UX as a strategic discipline. Office 2007 is an indicator, as well as the fact that the office team is now leading the development of the next generation of Windows. Thanks.
