Leslie O'Connor emailed me back today and confirmed that, yes, the positions that they are looking to fill would require relocation to Redmond.

Leslie did note that MSN Search is based in Mountain View (the nearest MS campus to me, I guess). Leslie also apologized for the "calendar glitch" and directed me to a different appointment system that is powered by Microsoft bCentral Appointment Manager. Leslie did not address the issue of whether they are targeting outspoken critics, however...

It was for a Systems Analyst position for MSN, which required me to move to Redmond as well. I picked another job in San Francisco instead. No comparison eh? :o)
