Diversity

... a lot of companies pay it lip-service. However, since I've joined MS, I've noticed that they really walk the walk.

For one thing, I've heard that greater than 1-in-4 employees are women. Still a long way to go, but this is *pretty good* for any large company in the tech industry.

Another thing is that I've been astounded by the number of handicapped (is that term PC anymore?) people I've seen around the campus. I've seen two blind people, someone in a wheelchair, and this morning while I was going to get a coffee, a man with an artificial leg rode by me on a bicycle! COOL!
