Is it safe for you to work on F/OSS since you once worked at Microsoft? What I mean is, is there any chance you have proprietary knowledge that Microsoft could come back and say you leaked into F/OSS?
Absolutely not. I was not a developer, I was a lab geek and then a tester. The few bits of secret info I was privy to is so out-of-date as to be utterly irrelevant. Also, the ideas I have shared are implementations of pretty obvious methods. I would be stunned if Microsoft invented remote debugging and had patents on it.
