Pete Wright leaves Microsoft

So, today I resigned my job, and completely ended my Microsoft career. I have taken a role as Director with a company at the leading edge of the “Web 2.0” curve. My team and I will write Ruby on Rails code, use Macintosh computers to do so, shun Microsoft technology completely, go to work in shorts and sandals and blast each other with nerf guns. My team is devoted to being the best it can be, to learning, to improving, to pushing boundaries. And it’s not Microsoft.

After being with the company for 15 years, he seems to have a great personal reason for leaving. Lack of passionate programmers would be aggravating after a while. He also goes out with a bang, bashing Microsoft and Vista, calling it a “pile of crap”.
