So, WTF is up with, “so?!?!?”

I listen to a lot of podcasts. I watch a fair number of video podcasts. Many of these podcasts are in some way tech related due, in part, to my job, but also because I'm a geek. I started noticing a trend several months ago and it seems to be getting more common. That trend, would be the practice of geeks and nerds, in an interview environment, beginning sentences with the word, “so.” Apparently I'm not the only one that's noticed this and it's possible that it can be traced back to Microsoft. I can't remember the last time I've seen an autonomous meme in language spread this far and wide so quickly.
