The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Influential Xbox executive Fries resigns from Microsoft

The jokes co-workers have pulled on Fries over the years are legendary, such as when they built a wall that covered the corridor to his office while he was in Japan. Jet-lagged and unable to sleep upon his return, Fries walked into Microsoft at 3 a.m. and walked right by his hidden office.
"That was one of the better ones they pulled on me," he said yesterday.
