Microsoft fans: Which way L.A.?
C|Net | at | by Mike
Say what you will about Microsoft, they know how to pamper their developers.
It's the little things. While most conferences offer sodas, Microsoft knows enough to put the sodas out first thing in the morning. It's one of the secrets to the company's success. Its Redmond, Wash., campus keeps huge refrigerators stocked with every soda known to mankind, including the rare Diet Cherry Coke.
And, knowing that programmers like computer games, the company thoughtfully set up a room filled with Xbox machines so conference-goers could chill out a bit between--or during--sessions.
