Hell is about to freeze over

Recommended Posts

Pretty soon I'll be working for Microsoft*. However I'll be working on Android compatible LInux Phone. If someone had told me just few years ago that I'd be working for MS developing Linux I'd be pissed my self from laughing. Now I don't know what to believe anymore.



* Technically I'll be working for Microsoft Mobile which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Microsoft, but still.
Your rights end where my feelings begin.

Are you a Seattle jumper already?



Nah, as far as I know this change doesn't involve any moves, however I'm somewhat tempted to apply to work in certain teams in MS that as far as I know are mostly located in Seattle.

Surprise, surprise that didn't last long.

Microsoft will switch the Nokia X, which uses Android, to the Windows Phone operating system to broaden its products in the cheaper smartphone category.



Been kind of waiting that announcement since last september, although it sucks that it means our entire site gets closed down.

I just wish I could get my hands on one of the sealed sales packages of the phones to keep as trophy.

I have a couple trophies .... called the Kin... lots of the SWAG was just pilled up one day in the lobby in Studio G at MS a couple days after the demise of KIN ( the Zune Phone)

I have other SWAG from various other programs that are no more... it is the nature of the beast.
