Keep in mind the cost of living in Cupertino is far more expensive than Redmond also, so in real terms the MS workers are making a lot more... RDF = ?

I'd assume most software engineers are capable of figuring out where money is beign made (it's not like this is the first site of its kind, just the first (possibly good) free one ... Vault, although a pay site, has done this for years).

I'd also wonder who is entering these numbers - presumably people leaving the company more commonly than not; perhaps MS is firing more experienced programmers than Apple is
