Seriously, Chris left MS? Where is he working now?

Hi,

Does anyone know any specifics about Apple's development process?  How agile they are, what CM do they use, what are their documentation practices, etc.  I recently read a great little book, "Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired--and Secretive--Company Really Works", but it left me with more questions than answers.  Googling did not yield anything worthile.

I'd also be interesting in a non-BS answer as to why so many important Microsoft employees have left in the past few months, even the originator of this list, Chris Sells!  It seems as though a dark cloud has settled over Redmond, but I can't put my finger on what it is.

Thanks,
Mike
