Windows Azure Lessons Learned: Quark Software
Dec 16, 2009 at 11:11 AMI'm ok with fruit-flavoured PCs when they're running Windows. I kidded Stephan about that before-hand. Quark is known for their design chops so I guess there are designers all over.

The video was actually recorded at the Microsoft Worldwide partner conference in July. The code has progressed somewhat since then but you'll have to wait until PDC next week to see that!
