Selfish as we are, we're less concerned about Nelson Rodriguez's plight than we are about the implications. Think about it for just a moment: Microsoft in bed with Aperture Science? Can that really be good news for anyone?

I was wondering what that hole was on the side of my Xbox...
And I thought it was just because I left it on the stove.

Working for Xbox and games for windows is great. They le him work from home for the first few weeks. The installed a portal, and every time he would ask them about it they would say stuff like, 'we have no comment 'at this time.' and microsoft doesn't comment on rumor and speculation.'

holy shit, I met this guy (Nelson Rodriguez) at the IMAX Halo 3 event! Wow. He was the one that went down the line, interviewing people regarding the event and their personal Halo experience.
...I never did find that podcast he said they were going to put up.

We here at Aperture Science are glad to join in a fruitful partnership with Microsoft. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we will be holding a party in Sub-basement 9 of Build C12 at Microft's Redmond campus. Cake will be served.

be a great wait to commute to work- portals would revolutionize the mass transit system, break our dependency on oil and generally usher mankind into a golden age

Well as it took Aperture Science 10 years to get the DOS part of GLaDOS to work (barely), they have a lot in common with MS.

Yay! Advertise the hell out of the box! Portal must take over the world!

Solution: install a front door over the portal for security and privacy, then use the portal for an instant commute to work every day on occasions when you cannot work from home.
