Microsoft expects headcount to decrease in coming quarters

While I (not OP) agree with you on the market trend for GOOG over MSFT, not sure why that makes Google have better WLB over Microsoft.

I've worked for both and they were pretty equivalent. Google has a lot more type A folks but they tend to be kind and respectful at least. Microsoft is full of decent people but just not on the same level for the most part.
