Is recruitment fair and would i work there? 

Based on statement on the job advert, by law Microsoft is an equal opportunity employer but in my opinion this is true in a sense that they do look in to everyone and pick the best as they also support diversity in the workplace however give the situation if there a guy and a disable guy with the same qualification they will obviously select the guy as they need to think of the extra cost of installing other facilities like rams to accommodate the disable guy. In short, they will only chose employee that can benefits the company with the lowest cost. 

Well if you ask me, i would not like to work at Microsoft solely because i am not interested with the it field , i am more of a business kind of guy and the other reason is that although i respect Bill Gates and all his work, i do not want to work for him, my aim is to be like him, rich and generous.
