Phil did a great job both before and after his MS career. He will do well at GitHub as well. He's one of the good guys in the C# world, and both GitHub and Microsoft will benefit from this.
Now I have to ask: who are the bad guys in C# world?

I'm sure you mean both before and during his MS career. His post MS career is about 12 hours old :-) But I'm sure he'll do well with it.
For anyone curious about any background on Phil Haack. Here are his notable accomplishments. - MS Lead on ASP.net MVC framework vers. 1 through 3 (current) - Lead on the NuGet package manager framework for Visual Studio - This Developer's Life Podcast with Scott Hanselman
Github is my social network. I wake up into it, i follow it, push to it during the day, and I survey it before sleep. I love Github (in fact i'm inlove with Github). I depend on Github. I don't do facebook, g+ or twitter for socializing. I used to admire Haack aswell. He's a great guy. However I fell out of love with .net. I am a polyglot programmer, with strong background in .net. To understand these Haack's "accomp…
Being a great guy as he is, I'm sure he'll push to positive in anything he'd do!.

There's a lot of good stuff coming in that respect. As long as ScottGu carries the torch, things are good there. :)
Wait... Isn't scottgu running/going to run the Azure Platform? http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-reorg-scott-gu...

It could be a net gain for Microsoft if the Windows developer community begins to embrace github. As long as the most talented in the community don't leave the Windows platform, it could lead to a more vibrant and productive Windows developer community.
Unfortunately, its been my experience that the Windows developer community rarely embraces anything outside of Microsoft. I hope your right though.
When I went looking for a git win32 binaries a while ago the attitude was basically "lolz get a mac/linux box". Which is why I use hg instead of git. It's great to see an open source community, that isn't engulfed in the sanfrancisco linux/mac mono culture bubble, reaching out to Win developers for the benfit of everyone.

I totally see where you're coming from, and I personally think hg is great. I just don't want your comment to scare windows developers off. For the record: running git on windows is great.
This is great news for .NET devs- the Windows GitHub client (and VS integration) is not great. This is awful news for .NET devs- ASP.NET MVC is the best thing that's happened to ASP.NET since it began. Losing the lead guy on that project is worrying.
It's a bit distressing that a lot of the most interesting .NET things (such as mono[touch,droid] and asp.net MVC) are either black sheep or 3rd party projects. .NET is a solid technology, but I fear it may end up having a limited lifespan due to being so heavily tied to windows, especially as the next generation of systems (tablets, non-traditional PCs, etc.) starts taking over the market.

When presented the opportunity you chose to take a dig at Daft Punk, but not the fauxhawk? Some things I will never understand...
I was going to have a go at that as well, (mainly the word, seriously, who says fauk-hawke? ) but I thought that'd be laying it on a bit thick. The whole 'wacky french house' thing has been done better. http://soundcloud.com/para-one/canblaster-clockworks-para-on... http://soundcloud.com/panteros666/panteros666-javelin-o
It rhymes with "Mohawk". "Faux" is the French word for fake, pronounced like "fow". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faux
Except using a French word in the context is pretentious and phoney. Maybe there's a word for that...
