Interviewed Feb 2012 in Bucharest (Romania) (took 2 weeks)
First I was called for a eliminator language test (my case German). The test consisted of a 15 minute talk about me - my interests and hobbies - and afterwards a 30 grill grammar and vocabulary test. I was called after 2 weeks to be invited to a 1:1 interview. At that interview I was questioned about my interests in technology, communication and Microsoft. Then I was given a scenario: what would i do if a client wanted to change Outlook's interface color to green and it wasn't possible? I answered that i would first ask that client why he wants to change the interface color. The client answered that his boss demanded that and if he would not succeed his boss would fire him. Then i said that i would tell the client that i would send an official mail on behalf of Microsoft to the boss telling him that changing the interface's color is not possible. The answer was correct. After this interview i was called in 1 day to be announced that i had been accepted in the internship.

Interviewed May 2009 (took 3 days)
I had a connection that allowed me to be interviewed quickly and hear back within a couple days. Microsoft was very generous and it was a great position, but I ultimately chose to intern elsewhere that summer. Their campus was beautiful and the interview was more conversational than anything - they wanted to get a feel for my interests.
