I note that Microsoft doesn't have an office presence in Zurich according to their website, which means they must be opening an office especially for Erich - incredible.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or he'll be working from home.

It actually explains the new office in the post "Erich will continue to live and work out of Zurich, Switzerland where we will be opening a small Visual Studio development lab with Erich as the lead."

Interesting news in the context of two HN posts from last week. First was the question of the future of the .Net platform in Windows 8. Second was regarding the quality of technical books these days (Gamma being the author of one of my top 5 or so books, one that changed the way I look at software development).

I doubt that Microsoft will eclipse the future of .NET.
