You guys have a great range of people on video... PMs, SDEs, Management, Evangelists and now Senior VPs
The best thing about Channel 9 is the variety of people passing through!
Microsoft has such a great team and has an enormous amount of momentum. It is excellent to see you talking about open up the application file stores and concentrating on adding value rather than lock-in!
