The switch to git was widely publicized at that time. As far as I know, the Windows team is the only large scale team using git. Facebook is using Mercurial, Gogle is using some concoctions around Perforce, I think, and is working on a Mercurial transition. And all of these attempts for trying to make DVCS work at scale are straining their respective systems to their breaking points.

I must have been in a cave that month or something. It's a fascinating move imho considering how few people actually knew what git, svn, cvs etc. were when I worked there back in 2010. So much myopia towards outside technology but Satya and Scott Guthrie were always on top of things with a good vision of how microsoft and open source should co-exist. I legitimately regret leaving only to have ballmer leave a few weeks later followed by Satya's, who was previous vp of the division I worked in, promotion. All those unvested shares >_<
