There was certainly no shortage of applicants being taxied around by the Prius Army, though. The people that I spoke with there have absolutely no idea what's going on. I interviewed with Office team, so they may be less worried about cuts. They did pitch to me that a bunch of new buildings were in development though, which is interesting if MS is seriously considering cutting back on construction. The reason it was noted was that Building 36 is *real* busy during lunchtime. One of my friends working in another group mentioned that they were having some kind of "real close review" that he was a bit concerned about. I'm definitely interested to see where this all goes.
