AccMan TalkBack: Microsoft atrophying as it loses another high profile staffer?

    "What would it have cost? $200K to keep Niall on track? $300K? That’s a fleabite for a company like Microsoft."

    As a quiet backhander, it would have probably made Niall feel uncomfortable (I'm guessing, of course.) As salary, it would have caused distortion and resentment.

    As stock, it would be an offer all too easy to refuse.

    He's well off out of it by the sound of things.
