Eight

Windows 8 has recently RTM‘ed, and coincidentally I have just hit my 8 year anniversary working full-time at Microsoft.  It has been a wild ride.  I have worked on a handful of products (MSN/Windows Live Messenger, Live Core, Live Mesh, Windows Live Mesh, SkyDrive—I even created a comical presentation detailing the history of the last four) and have first-handedly seen the rise and fall of several products.  The tech industry has changed dramatically over the last 8 years.  I have also seen many friends and co-workers come and go, both within Microsoft and to other companies.

I think I am ready for something new, though I have not decided what that exactly is yet.  Commence navel-gazing.
