So long, and farewell...

[DaveMac-MS]

Hi guys:

Just a really brief note to let you know that last week I offered my resignation to Microsoft and this coming Friday will be my last day in the office.

I'm leaving Microsoft after nearly 11 years at the company and have had a wonderful run. For a long time it's been a dream job - and being able to come to this forum, spar and debate with passionate enthusiasts has been a true highlight. So thankyou all for indulging me here.

I'm leaving to do a startup. It's called Buddy, and we'll be announcing more details on it shortly at http://buddy.com. I'd love to get your thoughts on it once we've launched.

I hope to continue to participate on ABi as my time and interests allow. You guys are a passionate and vocal bunch, and I look forward to joining you on the other side of the aisle as a customer and user!

Thanks everyone!

Cheers, Dave.
