  So Adam is leaving to work on the Silverlight team?  How wierd is it for someone to leave a group and still work next door?
  Does that happen a lot at MS?

  Really enjoyed this interview.  Especially the section when you all talked about Datacenters and measuring them in megawatts instead of square feet.
  I wish there was more information on the MS datacenters to help counter the whole Google rocks!!!! and their datacenter is teh b0mb!!!!
  
  Very very smart woman...

  Jon,
  
  I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy these converstations, even if I don't quite understand everything discussed.  I think you do a great job keep the discussion moving and also helping us to understand a complex topic.
  
  Thanks again

• Jon Udell and Mary Czerwinski on interruptions, context reacquisition, and spatial/temporal memory

  Another great converstation. Is there a tool that is available like the one Mary mentions that shows how much time I'm spending in IE or Email or something like that for the public? I would use it to make sure I stay on task, sounds great and would love to try it.

  Its an interesting discussion on different desktops. I think that's why I haven't been impressed/needed some of the cool things in Vista, Gadgets/Sidebar, etc because I don't like anything on my desktop and 99% of the time my screens are full screen and I just alt-tab between them and go the entire day w/o seeing the desktop background. In fact sometimes I don't even change my desktop background from the default screen

  But as soon as Microsoft would buy the best everyone would scream monoploy and MS would then be right back in the same area. People want Microsoft to purchase and use the best products but as soon as they do everyone criticizes them. Funny ain't it ?????
