I'd second that and add http://blogs.msdn.com/heatherleigh (it's on Zoe and Gretchen's blog links) for some additional information.

This thread

http://discuss.fogcreek.com/joelonsoftware/default.asp?cmd=show&ixPost=116513

has some links that might be pertinent to your question. And the best place of course is

http://weblogs.asp.net/jobsblog/archive/2004/04/05/108012.aspx

as the previous posters mentioned. I got this link from Eric Lippert's post in an old thread on this forum.

As an aside, if you're interested in knowing more about Microsoft, you might want to like to watch some videos and the Moblog section on Channel9.
