I still don't really know what our team's product (Dynamics AX) does, but I do have a book on it now. I also have a book about programming in C#, which is a language I've never used before. The books are around 800 pages each... fun.
Windows Vista is unbearably slow.
Yesterday, I went to Nintendo America's HQ to take pictures for Roger because he thought it'd be the coolest building in the world. In fact, it was the most boring building in this part of town, with lots of tinted windows and truck docking areas. I think the most interesting picture I took was of my own bike and camera in a convex mirror, which doesn't say much for the building itself. Visitors aren't even allowed inside without an appointment.
What else happened... well, not much that I can remember. I bike everywhere, which is a pretty good workout since this place is hills and more hills. Going to work is a mile of 15 degree uphill followed by half a mile of lesser uphill. I think I might have to start showering at work once the summer heat comes.
Before orientation, during orientation, and even after orientation, presenters and recruiters and such kept talking about how we are allowed to spend up to $450 of our own money at the company store to buy MS products. They all seemed really excited about it, which is what I don't get. Why would I want to buy Vista for $50, even if this is a significant discount? I can't do anything with it except use it myself or give it to my mom, because I'm not allowed to trade it, or sell it for more than I paid. So why would I subject my mom or myself to such torture?

Having the link to Dynamics AX was just a devious way for your Zhanga readers to take that survey on the homepage. Bad bad Microsoft worker!! Linux rules!!
