  Students Bring Digital Generation Skills to Summertime Stay at Microsoft
Time: 13:13 EST/18:13 GMT | News Source: Microsoft Press Release | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

When Makinde Adeagbo and 21 other undergraduate college students arrived here in June for a five-week computer-science training program on Microsoft's corporate campus, they were excited about the opportunity to get an inside look at life at Microsoft. Among the surprises: how much input everyone has in defining the products they work on; how much pride everyone takes in their job; and, of course, the free beverages Microsoft provides to employees. But the biggest surprise was the fact that they spent so much of their time building real software features for real customers. While they expected to do some development work, most of the students assumed they would be assigned relatively meaningless tasks. Instead, they've toiled on a number of high-profile projects, including a feature in the upcoming MSN Music Service.
