Oohh... Apparantly I'm yellow. Hmmm...

Right, off to see if the library has this book. Because I'm a cheapskate.

Aww... How can we find out what colours we are? Is that some internal MS-only test or a widely available standard one?

Anyway, cool interview.

The changing of software development status names is annoying, this one especially. Beta is what used to be Alpha and Release Candidate is what used to be Beta.

Why call it a Release Candidate if you have no intention of actually releasing that version? It makes so sense.

Argh!!!

That's a peculiar assertion... Where did the idea that the labels had all changed meanings come from?

Didn't WHS actually release their release candidate?

Nice, because one guy has connection issues we all get low bit-rate videos.

 Bite me, I don't have connection issues, but I have an issue with having to download a 1Gb file which is mainly just a portrait accompanying the interesting (audio) discussion.

There's more than one of us who don't like the massive download sizes.

Interesting stuff, Byron does a good job of making it comprehensible. Now if only the same tools could be used for .NET... (I know, I know, I'm dreaming. Perhaps in a few years time?)

It looks like there will soon be very few excuses for not having reliable device drivers at least though!

Hey, if you're on a laptop efficient software enhances battery life.

Fascinating stuff, marred slightly by the audio (perhaps a microphone of some description would be handy... not the kind you have to point at people to hear them though... that would interrupt the conversation.)

Plus why was the third person (who's name , I'm sorry to say, has eluded me already) off camera? (aside from hiding from the mafia) It was a bit odd to watch everyone listening intently off camera. If you're going to have an audio presence you need a video one too, no hiding!

Good stuff though, hope you met plenty more fascinating people and videod them. (isn't videod an odd word, is it video'd or videoed...)

Well, you can't please everyone. I found it interesting, although (obviously) not related in any way to programming.

I didn't check what the tags were; is there a tag for "not technical" I suppose you could have used the old "characters" tag.

No, no, no! nvidia's "quality assurance" team will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes. (Or at least, they'll be the first lot I put up against the wall when the revolution comes.)

Or maybe I'll execute unethical scientists first... Nah, the nvidia lot will be easier to find.

Damn you Microsoft! I was quite happy with my rubbish old Siemens mobile. (They don't even make mobiles any more do they?)

Now I'm wanting to get a new phone.

Curse you!

Excellent stuff, how's the soapbox work going? You've had a couple of months, do all the videos work on mobiles yet?
