These companies are very open in terms of the preferences of their employees. I was with Yahoo and no one ever even hinted that you should not use products by google. Even you could wear a google t-shirt without any one raising an eyebrow. So I guess this is no surprise and a good sign.
Hi Amit,
I am pretty sure, Microsoft must be hiring Java programmers, and Sun must be hiring VC++.net programmers !!
M$ Office is still far superior to Google Docs. Just take example of Excel. It has, what, gazillion fuctions,options,formulas,charts,etc etc etc. A web based Office Suite is no match for the real thing.
