What is it with all this Microsoft bashing? I agree that DOS/3.1/95/NT were jokes, but with Windows 2000 Microsoft have finally created something magnificant (and I used to be a BeOS zealot). Their applications are pretty decent too. It seems that Zac enjoys his work environment, and if given the opportunity I'd join him in a heartbeat. At the end of the day, its just a day job. Since we spend 1/3 of our lives at work, its important that we enjoy the environment - and Zac seems to be having a ball. Good for him.

My previous job (in a Casino) had free food, drinks, plenty of entertainment (party mood visitors) etc but I hated the work environment. My current job has no freebies but I love working here. We all get kicks from different things, and its great to know that some people can have their cake and eat it too.
