least a couple of years to develop it. Did it say he left MS to go to
infinum? I think I saw an interview with this guy on The Screen Savers
and he left after the Xbox was released or maybe even before it's

You know, when I start a job writing shopping carts or web services
interfaces or the like. I sign this draconian NDA promising I won't do
work for any other widget companies for 18 months or something like
that.
Now, you have this guy who built the XBox from vaporware on up who can
jump from his position leading that wing to immediately running what may
be a major competitor... how does he get away with it? :)
