Wow, you're lucky. Microsoft has an awesome internship program. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Miscrosoft turned me down for the only internship I can apply to at this point: the "diversity" internship, which doesn't work because I'm a white male. Oh well.
Beeing a white male these days ain't too great. Ever thought about an operation? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Theres webpages dedicated specifically to Microsoft interview stories, search around on google for "<a href='http://www.google.com/search?q=microsoft+interview' target='_blank'>Microsoft Interview</a>". Better start finding out how many stacked quarters it would take to reach the height of the Empire State building. Good luck <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Just an update guys. They are flying me out tomorrow evening. I'll be back Friday afternoon. (And I have my second phone interview for nVidia scheduled a few hours after that.)

Congrats man. I'll go answer some usenet posts in some vague effort to become an MVP.
Seriously though, how did they "discover" you? Did you apply? Did you submit a knowledgebase article? What?

Thanks for the support. I'm wiggin' out right now just considering the logistics of getting out there. I haven't even started thinking about the interview yet. I've never really travelled in any complex fashion by myself, so this will be an experience.
