As a company we use Dropbox to hold various files and reports.
This is because we are dispersed, so a site manager may need to update a build program from his site office, so he opens Excel, opens the file on the Dropbox folder, updates and saves.
Then we, in the HO, can pick up that data for reporting, budget and management purposes.
This has worked well for many years and with all other versions of Excel you can put the Dropbox folder in the Favourites section.
Not so with 13.
You have to go in and browse and look for it.
This is because MS has its own cloud and so doesn't want you to use the long established ones.
Tough titty MS, we have people using many devices and some of them are not even part of our company, (Contractors etc) over whom we have no control, so Dropbox stays.
Now I just have to suss out a way of getting Dropbox as a save location on the crapfest of Office 13.

Now I'm championing Dropbox after it got me out of a hole. That just seems odd after all I'm guessing that it allows you to save to the location (and not on the desktop, "did I move that file?", sound familiar?). Anti-competitive practises? Bell/AT&T know what happens how are MS allowed to do it ?

They do not stop you accessing drop box, but you have to go the long way round.
You cannot have it as a Save Location on the 'Save Menu' in 13 like you can in 10 or prior.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
The answer of course is:
A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

I'm not sure what a "reputation Software company" is, but I would try asking them to think about how they would approach a real problem you have, or have had, in that company.
Fizz-Buzz tests are so last century!
So write out a problem , ask them to read through it and then act as the 'customer' as they explain how they would solve it.
Seeing what questions they ask can be revealing - and you can get a good idea of how they analyse a problem.
Coding ability? Give them a computer with running code and ask them to make a minor change - say add a second button to a form that clears all the text boxes. Trivial, but will sort the wheat form the chavs

A perfectly round pizza is cut with any number of slices across it.
If the only measuring device you have is a super accurate weighing scales how could you determine if the intersection of the cuts is in the centre of the pizza or not.
(The actual answer is not all that important - it is how they approach finding the answer you are looking at)
