According to Matt Asay on his CNETNews blog The Open Road, prominent Apache Software Foundation director and Atom developer Sam Ruby has decided to leave IBM, a company he has been with since 1981, to work his Open Source magic at Microsoft. According to Ruby, "I expect to receive a credible offer from Microsoft in the next two weeks. I, in no way, initiated the conversation, nor am I an any way unhappy with IBM".
Ruby held a Senior Technical Staff Member position in the Emerging Technologies Group of IBM. There has been no formal offer made by Microsoft and it is not clear what his new position will be. Read more about this interesting move and check for updates on Ruby's personal blog.

Did you read his blog at all?
He's *probably* getting an offer, and there's no indication that he will accept.
And his blog is not called "Interesting Times" -- that's the name of the post.
Thanks for pointing out that the name of his blog is not "Interesting Times", my bad. I was clear in my post that no offer was made or accepted.
Very cool web 2.0 stuff. This is the first I have heard of Primal Fusion also, it looks like great technology for sure.
