I've read a couple books on MS and in general they have a history of
paying employee's small salaries and expecting them to work long hours.
So, why work for MS? They give employees sweet stock option deals.
However, most employees have to work for something like 5 years before
they can sell their stocks and profit.
I get the feeling that many 'puter companies, especially start-ups with
little capital to begin with, use a similar model.
