Interviewed Apr 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 4+ weeks)
I began the interview process after meeting with a Microsoft recruiter at my university. Within a few days, I had a phone interview scheduled. I had two of these and they were very, very easy; if you cannot make it past the phone interviews either you didn't get anything out of school or Microsoft doesn't want you.
I was then invited to fly up to Bellevue, WA to interview for the Bing! team. I had to solve whiteboard problems in front of five different team members. I felt that some of the interviewers were somewhat disrespectful - one guy pulled out his laptop as I was solving/explaining a problem. I also had a lunch interview with some kind of manager that went pretty awkwardly. The guy didn't say much and I didn't have much to tell him since he was pretty closed off. I thought I did well overall except for an interview question where they asked me to implement a Sudoku solver.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Seattle, WA (took 3 weeks)
I submitted my resume online for an intern software engineer position and got the 1:1 interview on campus. When you got the interview notice email you will also have to fill out an application form to specify your area of interests, skills and desired positions (even the positions that are not listed). Wore polo and pants, got some question on feature designs and you may have to write something on the white board.

Interviewed May 2009 in Cambridge, MA (took a day)
The first part of the interview process was a phone interview - mainly general questions about what interested me about programming why I wanted to work for Microsoft Startup Labs. Then was the technical interview with one of the engineers there. He asked me some verbal questions like "Is JavaScript object-oriented" then asked me to write some code on a white board - reverse a linked list, do some tree traversals, and something else. All pretty standard I guess.

Interviewed Mar 2007 (took a day)
Started with an on-campus interview where I had to solve a 'trick" problem. Followed up by on-site interview, where they had me interviewing for a position (hardware engineering/EE) that I wasn't remotely qualified for or interested in. Mostly a waste of time, but they put me up in a nice hotel and gave a generous daily stipend for meals.
