After spending the last several months considering other available jobs at Microsoft, Windows veteran Bill Veghte has decided to look for a job outside the company where he has worked the past 20 years, he announced on January 14.

In his own resignation note, Veghte told a story about how he came to join Microsoft. From that note:

“20 years ago I sent my resume west and got a rejection letter. I knew all about Asian culture but little of computers and software.

“I tried again. Got an interview, flew out, crashed the rental car on the 520 bridge, spent 4 hours in the ER, put on a neck brace, and went to the interviews.”

He got the job: To help market Windows 3.0. Most recently, he was marketing Windows 7.
