"Unfortunately, we have decided not to offer you an internship position this summer."
Heck, I've failed. Disappointment, regret, sadness. As I wrote in my last post about internship, I did my best... I did the best what I can and it was just *not enough*. sigh :-(
Maybe I'm not as smart as needed, maybe I don't have required knowledge or skill, maybe I did some stupid mistake, maybe...?

Damn, "maybe suckz!" Surely I love technology; I love to develop software, to learn new things, to work on challenging projects, to work with the best people. These are things that *I know* and I'm 100% sure about. And neither an interview, nor Microsoft can (or will) change my opinion about these for now.
However, this interview showed me some of my “weak references” and I (can) believe that my current best isn't my "final best" at all. OK, I will try to shift "my best" at least one level up, I promise... Again, neither for internship, nor for Microsoft, but for me. I'm sure it pays off in this life-long challenge. And in regard to Microsoft, there is always next time, am I right? :-)
To all of you who did it and are going to intern at MS this summer : Do your best, take this chance. I'm really looking forward to use products you'll help to create. Good luck!
Some info for future candidates: It took cca. 2-3 weeks to get results; If you fail, you will not receive any feedback why you've failed; Successful candidates are noticed first. Go for it, it really pays off!
