Run? Hell. Not BIll or Steve. How about their investors and all those employees that banked on high stock value as part of the contracts and capital worth. M$ devs are payed fairly low (as scale goes) and rely on the stock packages they get from M$ for a large amount of their net worth. Given the Steve Ballmer just cashed out a fair amount of his M$ stock (get some while there's still a descent amount of liquidity) one might get the impression that a trend may be developing. Now, I expect to see the turning of the screw as the market value begins to wittle away and their employees start to fade back one by one. Cheers, Curtis.
