Did you read it? I ask because it's all rumour. The best they can get is that they 'fact checked' with two (two!) employees who were there and they refused to confirm that people were leaving in droves (and if you're familiar with how reporters work, I'd guess that the employees said something like 'What? No, people weren't leaving in droves'. )

Then there's the fact that the article is thin wrapper around a PI article about anonymous comments made on an anonymous (purportedly) MS employee's blog.

The only value that this article could possibly bring is to discuss Steve Balmer in general, and for that a self-post like "Hey, do you guys like the job Balmer is doing" would do a better job, and it would almost certainly sink like a stone. I'm actually embarrassed for this community that this made it to #1. Must be a slow news day.
