Hmmmm....this week's poll shows so far that more people would rather work at Microsoft than quite a few other high-tech companies who I'd think of as much cooler (e.g. IBM)...

Can't say Microsoft attracts me greatly...what about other folks?

From an economic/marketing standpoint, it's be hard to look a gifthorse like MS in the mouth. Despite what the company has done and continues to do, there are many good people who work for them and make a lot of money doing so. On a principled standpoint, no way in hell.

IBM seems cooler to me too, but I think they still suffer a bit of image problem. Even I still have images of the old Macintosh commercial that portrayed IBM as Big Brother.
