Has anyone interviewed with Microsoft before?

What kind of questions do they ask/did they ask you? I've heard they ask a lot of riddle/puzzle solving questions, is that true? For those who interviewed with the company, how did you do?

I'll be interviewing for a summer internship as a software design engineer or software design test engineer

It would REALLY help if you actually told us what position you were getting interviewed for.

what I find really ironic about ameesh is that he left a Microsoft based position for a linux or unix position (if I read correctly), and yet he kept bashing linux (at least he was)

Never interviewed with them...but I would believe at least one of the questions would be at the very least....

What process would you go about to design a software product

or

What type of testing phase would you use for this (blah blah blah) product.

Here's a sampling of the questions you can expect to be asked on your interview tomorrow:

So, for instance, if you were hired here at Microsoft, would you do your best to increase blatent security flaws in all Microsoft products?

Do you believe that Bill Gates is the one true God?

Explain in one hundred words or less why Microsoft is the greatest software company in the history of mankind.

And so on... all questions are to be answered with an enthusiastic 'yes' by the way.
