MNBoxster, no I do not, so your probably right, its just urban legend!
A bunch of geeky MS employes told me this when I went to a coference at the MS campus in Redmond WA.
Great time though, we closed down the bar atop the space needle

WTH, I'm a geek too 15 yrs in computer programming ( You talking to meee?? You talking to meeeeee???) 
The only diff between me and the MS guys, I like Porsches, they like the next HP calculator!!! (and of course, millions in stock options!)

Sadly, I rode the Space Needle elavator down with a .12 at 2:00 am, (not bragging, just the way the circumstances played out  I could not say three cohesive words to save my life!  , the MS guys looked like a fish in water)
Thank god I was with these MS geeks, they dropped me off at my hotel
Next Question:
What was the name of the landlord that called Jerry a " Fancy Guy"?
Regards
Jimmy

Been in the biz since the TRS-80 days, I am the R&D director for Data Control Corp located in the Sac, California area.
Started in GWBASIC (thanks Bill Gates), then C then C++ and now in CSharp .NET
Mostly Gov contracts dealing with security issues (banking, gov and financial only)
I urge you to lean towards CS, there are great op's out there for brilliant students!
This is one area that does not out source!!!
Regards
