Move Networks and Microsoft Partner

So what does the Move Networks & Microsoft Partnership announcement mean to me?

Sounds like some sort of essay for a history report or something.

Frankly I don't know. This is one of those things that you hear random rumors about, or you hear fragmented information about in the halls. It sounds strategic at the time, but it's the bits and pieces you have to ignore because it wouldn't do you any good to speculate. It could get you fired to discuss outside the hallowed halls of Move Corporate. You could get excited and be really let down when it never comes to fruition.

That being said... the percentage of rumor to announcement is exponentially greater than previous startups I've worked with. It's great when certain factions of management don't feel the need to lie to the employees. Management at Move Networks is strong. Being an employee does not make me a biased opinion either. I wouldn't say anything if the opposite were true, unless I was 5+ years from having been laid off from the company.

I'm off to give Silverlight some more attention. I have a feeling I'll get to play with it quite a bit in the coming months.
