I do hope we can get more from him.
Good catch Charles

Great job team

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

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 ?????

Re: Jon Udell: Brian Jones on Office XML

j0217995 — Tue, 06 Feb 2007 13:41:00 GMT

One small criticism of this is that it seems more of the converstation is Jon explaining things and Brian agreeing w/ him. I thought Brian was supposed to be the "expert" here. Otherwise I loved this podcast as well.

Re: Bill Hilf: Open Source at Microsoft

j0217995 — Sun, 17 Sep 2006 17:03:45 GMT

Does it have anything to do w/ the lack of ActiveX support or is it just a wild rumor? I doubt that MS is going to do something like this on purpuse to hurt FF.
I would love to see more "information" on this

Typical Slashdot flamebait on this video (http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/09/09/0340200&from=rss) I find myself actually clicking on less and less articles there.

Best comment is: If that guy is so great why have I never heard from him".

Give me a break and get over yourself. Thanks Charles and Floyd for the video

I haven't watched the video yet, it sounds really promissing, but is this an actual real world scenario or more of a Contoso.com thing that only exists in scenarios and study guides?

Small typo, you have "it will de directly accessible" and it should read "it will be directly accessible".
