Whine all he wants, and make no mistake it is whining, developing an architecture and/or tools that millions of people, other developers included, will use is far more 'heady' or significant a task than developing software for some two bit clerk to enter sales invoices more efficiently. Why would you not want to work in that role for those two companies? But of course, Hailstorm is the only product MS has to work on!

However, that wouldn't be as good as peddling jobs on my blog.....jobs.joelonsoftware.com.
