I disagree that Microsoft is a bigger company than Google the time that Microsoft was a natural monopoly and google had a very unprotected position at the top has long gone. Infact you can rip off Microsoft or find similar products that are often better but you cannot rip off google even if other search engines organised searches quicker and better people will allways spend money and time to be found on google.

@BRK I agree with you "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will steal all your fish…" Shuffle is a normal behavior and people leaving firms like MS/Google/Yahoo have their justified reasons. You will notice more with it when you see the particular market is very volatile, advertising is rising so everyone tied with it looking forward for a better result.

Microsoft is still the most powerful IT company in the world... Google and Apple are just kids comparing to Bill's firm:)) oTOoo's last blog post..Старые времена

One wonders why they wouldn't leave. When you get to those salary levels, cash in some stocks and you never have to work again. Or at least you work for yourself. Where do these people go? Maybe they like the challenge so a lot go to the next big start up like Facebook. Or others think they can do better than their predecessors like Cuil. People just need to watch their backs.

I can certainly understand leaving MS if you're in the ad division ... however much cash they throw at it their network is still the really ugly step-sister, worse even than Yahoo. But landing at Amazon? Hmmm, interesting. Haven't really thought of them as an advertising entity, but with that many eyeballs? As I said, interesting.

I wonder why so many senior people are leaving MS! Okay, the industry sees many leaving and joining new employers, but this is peculiar for MS. Nicole Price's last blog post..Car Rental Tips to Save you Money
