a bit OT:
MS sponsored the coding event in our tech-fest (IIIT, Allahabad) and hired the winner team (all 3 members). Big companies keep looking for talents. They were even one of the sponsors of PyCon, Atlanta. But AFAIK MS India does not use python for any product of theirs. Why will they hunt for pythonistas. However the whole thing boils down to - 'Will they sponsor us ?'. If yes, then there must be no issues.
