It was meant to stand for eXPerience as mentioned. Working here though I
have heard a few pretty good takes on it, eXPletive being my personal
favorite.

Hello Joseph,
1) Are employees of MSFT permitted to say such things
about MSFT products, in a public forum?
2) Are you officially representing MSFT (i.e. posting
during working hours, whilst using MSFT resources), or
are you doing this in your own free time, and using
[MSFT] in your "Nick" for the sole purpose of giving
credence to what you write?

Personally, I think that the only meaning you should take from Joseph's
reply is that "Softies" are human too. ;)
