I liked the format of the interview Laura, and would definately like to see more of these.. (hint: someone from the early days of Exchange perhaps)
Good suggestion- I'll see who I can find!
I like the "Office meets Star Trek" part, and I also like hearing how people move between projects at Microsoft. Sounds like it's been a fun journey.
Laura, great job! The interview didn't seem like 10 minutes, it seemed shorter, still awesome, and the background was a definate FTW moment!
SQL Server is definately the enigma right now. Pauls secret project now out of SQL Server org, I wonder what is going on in there?
Oh, and for the record, Jetsons all the way!
Agree, love the format of this interview! Do more please!
