I'm shocked too.
Comapre it with people who applied too, but didn't have that "internal" knowledge
Is it fair from that "not well networked" person perspective?
It's not even like he found this question randomly on the internet, he got it from MSFT employee, lol.
I have really mixed feelings about this
Edit.
Don't get me wrong, apparently author was(and is) capable of doing his job, so it isn't a big problem, but what if author wasn't capable of doing the job and passed just due to the advantage?
I know person who told beginner programmer what X company asks on interviews and that guy actually managed to pass that interview due to the knowledge
but was fired like 3 months later due to lack of skills
