1,400 people laid off today, so far I do not appear to be one of them.

Congratulations, and fingers crossed. The next several months are going to be all kinds of suck what with 3600 more shoes waiting to drop.

Good news. So far no one I know who is a FTE Microsoft employee has lost their job. I hope my company is positioning itself well to work with the changing Microsoft, but I know they're cutting back on vendor spending in some vague way.

Seems to be scattered about. They're doing a lot of reorging, then eliminating duplication.
