Niall Kennedy Leaving Microsoft

This morning I got an IM from Niall Kennedy letting me know that he was Leaving Microsoft. He begins his blog post about leaving by writing

I am leaving Microsoft to start my own company. My last day at Microsoft is next Friday, August 18. It's uncertain whether Microsoft will continue the feed platform work I started, but it's some good stuff so I hope they do.

As the person who referred Niall to the company and gave him some advice when he was weighing whether to join Windows Live, I am sad to see him leave so soon. I sympathize with his reasons for leaving although some of what he wrote is inaccurate and based on speculation rather than the actual facts of the matter. That said, I found Niall to be quite knowledgeable, smart and passionate, so I expect him to do well in his endeavors.

Good luck, Niall.

That Valleywag interview and picture were revealing of true character.

If you're going to hire "celebrity" bloggers, be prepared for them to bolt.

Don't know Nial at all, but the the technorati people seems determined to cast him as a glorified tech support guy not a real engineer when he was there . . . perhaps that turned people off at MSFT where you need to really have technical chops to be a program manager. . .

Dare, didn't you start work on the feed platform long before MS was a twinkle in Niall's eye??
