Not only that, but he'll be getting to work on Longhorn features. &lt;british&gt;bastahd!&lt;/british&gt; It's also pretty cool that he started out as QA (hard), then wenten-USTelligent Evolution Platform Developer Build (Build: 5.6.50428.7875)http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cyrusn/archive/2004/08/13/214010.aspx#214349Fri, 13 Aug 2004 20:22:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214349EricI'm not sure about his whole &quot;PM = easy&quot; thing. I'm hoping that my new dev job will be simpler than my PM job. <br> <br>Oh, and it's &quot;Austen&quot;, not &quot;Austin&quot;. <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=214349" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/cyrusn/archive/2004/08/13/214010.aspx#214020Fri, 13 Aug 2004 09:08:00 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:214020Frans Bouma&quot;Back when I was an intern one of my first encounters with eric was through a flamewar with him over checked exceptions in c# and .NET. I was passionate and he was patient. &quot; <br>Are you referring to the thread in the CSharp newsgroup (the thread also was crossposted to some java advocacy group)? If so, I remember that one, wrote a lot of replies in that thread as well (of course anti-checked exceptions ;)). I indeed remember his calmness with the javatrolls. :) <br> <br>&quot;but I'm still upset about this issue and I'd love to see it changed. Now maybe that he's gone i'll have my chance &lt;evil&gt;mwuhahahaha&lt;/evil&gt; ;-)&quot; <br>*sob* please!! noo!!! :D<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=214020" width="1" height="1">
