Some cool products, but they're getting lost in the fact that this is a huge company
There are some really cool technologies to work on, and generally a very casual atmosphere. Also, for now, the pop is still free.
Product leadership can often lose sight of the fact that they own a cool technology and that we're trying to ship it, leading to directionless and mired-down product cycles. Sometimes it seems like there are processes created for the sake of creating processes, not to any useful end.
Microsoft may be a huge company, but individual product groups need to go back to acting like independent small startups. Focus on creating/finishing cool things people want, not always incrementing to version X.1.
