A good position at Microsoft is not the easiest thing to come by. I mean, if you want to talk about job stability.. Microsoft has the largest market share by no small margin in the desktop PC world and the office suite markets. They're not going anywhere. They pay well and have great benefits, too. Many open-source programmers are getting sucked into the likes of Microsoft, Apple, and other huge companies like that. Developing for the worlds most popular OS would be a hard job to turn down.. open source fan or not.
