I have already read many of the Yahoo developers left the company, and Microsoft continued to pursue the deal. This was not a deal breaker at all. I have also read some have returned. This is part of the unfortunate mess created by this attempted acquisition as I mentioned. >> M$ has many of the world's best programmers. How many of them have you heard >> of in the past 9 years?<< Microsoft is hiring 15,000 people this year alone. Many of them developers. I might have a slightly different relationship understanding Microsoft than you do, but I know quite a few developers at Microsoft, and they are all genius and are all compassionate towards the customers and their needs. The people I know working there love the internal atmosphere and the way the company treats the staff. My son is interning on the OneNote team and is having a terrific experience.
