i was talking with a guy from microsoft today.

– ideological enemy! – said he, when lending me hand to hold

a couple of quotes from his talk

– in which team are you working?internet explorer? games? kernel? – I have asked

– *****

– if it would be internet explorer, i would throttle you – said one guy who was pissed off of ie bugs during web development work

– in our team i am the only one who uses visual studio. all other guys use eclipse

– in microsoft we hate vista and internet explorer

– yes threading model in win7 indeed radically improved

– they were saying to me: “u have strange variable names, like… ‘vremya’”

– i hate that defender staff

– clima in redmond is the same as in armenia. same ground, same hills, and we even have our own sevan-like lake, and big ararat-like mountain

– the higher grade u have, the more pakhats place is your office

– i havent write anything romantic or interesting since i left armenia
