This week, Microsoft posted two job requests relating to Windows on their careers website. The first is for a technical writer who is interested in helping out millions of Microsoft customers via the Windows Consumer Content Team by writing "friendly, accurate responses for customers to see when a problem occurs on their computer. We write helpful responses for issues that offer information about how to fix, troubleshoot, or avoid an error in Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7."

The second one is slightly more interesting. Microsoft is looking for a marketing manager for Vista's successor.

A marketing manager would solely be promoting the finished product.
