Andre, you posted this like you dug up the job post, but you didn't. It was already posted about.

You should give credit where credit is due, man. Those guys should get links.

So what about Mary Jo Foley who broke the news about Windows 7 in the first place? Should I not also give her credit along with any mention of Windows 7 on ActiveWin? And why do you assume I found it on Long Zheng or Windows-Now? btw the source of the news is "Microsoft", Long Zheng and Robert do not work for Microsoft, they are technology bloggers who happen to cover Microsoft technology and coincidentally posted a link to the Windows 7 job posting. Please stop commoditizing something that you don't even know if you will live to see reach BETA 1.

Actually Andre, I broke it two weeks before Mary Jo did.

That's ok though, no one else noticed either.

RE: the job posting, I was looking on the Microsoft job board to apply for a job working on Seven, and I came across that posting. I linked to it on my site, and then Long linked to it later. Now, you may have stumbled on it the same way I did. Strange coincidence that you found it a day later. If it is, then cool. If it's not, then sharing some link love would have been nice.

It's cool though, no hard feelings :).
