Mac girl at Microsoft, Windows boy at Apple

Oftentimes, when I tell people that I work on Mac software at Microsoft, the conversation is pretty predictable: disbelief that Microsoft makes Mac software, a reminder that we're the oldest Apple developer and make Office:Mac amongst other things, a comment that it's weird to do Mac development at Microsoft.

For all that it is occasionally weird to be a Mac girl at Microsoft, I think that it has to be at least five times as weird to be a Windows developer at Apple. I wonder what it's like to work on their Windows software teams.
