FWIW.

Laid-off workers will receive 60 days' notice, six months' health care coverage and stock vesting and "above-market severance pay," Microsoft said.

I was going to say that MS severance package are pretty good so these people if they get a job quick will have a nice sum of money in their pocket.  I was layed off of a job and got a nice severance and was in a new job before the end of the month I was let go.  It turned out that it was actually pretty damn good situation.  I doubt it will be for everyone but for some they will probably come out much better than where they were before.
