If Scott Hanselman and Phil Haack can do it then why can't I? That's right, I am joining Microsoft on the Windows reliability team as an SDET. The craziest part is it has all happened so fast that I am not sure the best way to prepare to move from San Diego to Washington in two weeks.

I am very excited about this opportunity to grow and work in an area that is outside of my usual expertise. Just in case you are not clear about exactly what and SDET does or if you had some of the same misconceptions I did, here are a couple of posts from jobsblog to clear things up:

• SDET/Testers - Behind the Myths
• Are you a good enough developer to be a Microsoft SDET?

I am not sure what this move will mean for the future content of this blog. I plan on keeping up with all things .Net even though I will be taking a new journey into the land of unmanaged code.
