Given the chance, would you take a job with Microsoft?

I think, if I needed the money I probably would. I don't like the way the super-giant operates, but if I had a family to support, I couldn't argue with the pay options.

If you guys were REALLY in need of money, I seriously doubt anyone here would starve to for some insignificant moral belief (software should be free, yada yada yada).

If they pay well enough I'll work for them right now no questions asked and I'll work on projects designed to suppress linux, open source, apple or to otherwise strengthen the monopoly they have on the market and I wouldn't even think twice about doing it. Its a dog eat dog world. The only obligation I have is to myself, my family, and my race.

people can say 'no, never' all they want know. but when the offer comes, and the money is there, then it's a whole different matter!
