Before I realised this was a Microsoft website, I flagged this post as spam.
Mark, we've never seen you around here before, so it helps to have a little introduction about who you are and why you're posting this link (which isn't even a link, it's just some text). Otherwise people will assume you're a spammer (as I did).
EDIT: And now for my critique of the site.
Why did Microsoft hire (what looks like) The Gorillaz design team to come up with a campaign to get new hires for the Exchange team? No matter how you dress it up, sitting at a desk writing backend software that no-one really sees can never be "hip".
Just a simple webpage saying "We need more meat for the ginder. Submit your resumé to this email address" would suffice, and would get the point accross without a 5-digit website design contract and Flash-based page maze. It took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on.

Really? You really think coming here, posting a link and spaming this forum with a recruitment link is very appropriate?
Agree about the Gorillaz marketing team...
The freakin site is in Flash (Way to fail to adopt Silverlight) AND you make the screen on the laptop an ugly DOS blue and white?
Your contact us button is an email link... Why not just say "Email Us"
Microsoft "Believe it or not"....no we do...trust us, we do.
lame. -

It took me a few minutes, and then a question to W3bbo (
) to figure out what exactly it was for.
I just couldn't take it seriously to believe it was for THE Exchange team... -

FNGs at Microsoft get a corridor office with no windows or natural light. And according to the Internets, you'll be on ~$60,000

I'd just wish reporters would tell the truth, just as a refreshing change of pace, ya know...

Yeah I thought the whole by developers for developers might lend to some creditability with the use of Silverlight though... -

The website is not looking that bad. I find it highly interesting and browsed through quite the whole. Very different and very nice to browse through.
I hope the team gets some nice people to work with them

Shouldn't this be written in something else than HTML then?
