<p>My daughter saw Bill Gates at Michigan today. Very cool.</p>

<p>I think any school he visits is high on the Microsoft recruitment list. They have had a hard time getting top young grads over Google and some other more cutting edge companies so I think they are reaching out more now. Humbling for Microsoft but the stock has been in the tank for years so what do they really have to offer these days?</p>

<p>Microsoft probably doesn't offer much. Oh yeah, Bill Gates had trouble getting his X-Box to work.</p>

<p>What would Seattle be like with a diminished Microsoft?</p>
