Johnny Chung Lee leaves MS, joins Google

Johnny started the whole wii-mote hacking craze with his wii-mote whiteboard, and has spent the last couple years working on Kinect at Microsoft.

It was a wild ride, helping Kinect along through the very early days of incubation (even before it was called "Project Natal") all the way to shipping 8 million units in the first 60 days. It's not often you work on a project that gets a lavish product announcement by Cirque du Soleil and a big Times Square Launch party. The success of Kinect is a result of fantastic work by a lot of people. I'm also very happy that so many other people share my excitement about the technology.
