Right now I'm sitting in NEO (New Employee Orientation) for Microsoft employees. Not only is it a cool name, but the nice folks at Microsoft provide a wireless network for new folks that can't spent hours w/o one (although I'm the only one that's geeky enough to have his laptop out at the moment : ). I start today as a Content Specialist on the MSDN content team at Microsoft, Corp. I'll be in charge of the Longhorn DevCenter. A DevCenter is a section of the MSDN web site that focuses on a specific technology area, like the XML/Web Services DevCenter . Longhorn is Microsoft's next major operation system (and different than Windows Server 2003 , which is the OS that Microsoft is launching this month). I can't (yet) say anything more about Longhorn except that it's cool enough that I took a job at MS so that I could get my hands on it. If you are dying for more info on Longhorn, but aren't quite ready to change your employment arrangements to get it, check out the PDC in October . And, if you stop by and say "hi," I'll show you the implant scars... : )
