So the question remains: Why on Earth would you work for them? Why would anyone enter the service of this — yes, I am being serious — Evil Empire, and not expect to have to work for Evil?

Will you be tied up in a corporate lifestyle or will you be able to pursue other interests ?

You don’t have the same motivations, agenda, etc., but you’re the right person to connect Microsoft with the outside world right now (connect meaning both directions – informing the world about what’s going on inside Microsoft, and informing Microsoft about what’s going on in the world). Unfortunately, I never posted it because I thought it couldn’t happen.

I like that you are extremely pragmatic, and focus on applying software towards solving problems for real people without any concern for other agendas. The fact that there are those at Microsoft who recognize the value of such a voice says a lot.

I understand why you’re staying in NH. I was in Walpole for a wedding at Alyson’s Orchard back in October. Nice state you got there!

I’m encouraged that you intend to “continue to be a channel for alpha geeks,” so I’ll be looking forward to future posts/podcasts/screencasts on all things XML-related and LINQed, especially LINQ for XSD and PLINQ. (See http://oakleafblog.blogspot.com/2006/12/jon-udell-moves-from-infoworld-to.html.)

Cheers from a beta geek who hit the “big five-oh” too many years ago to count.
