I think he's aware about where Die S-Klasse comes from.

It looks like a cool technology. But I wonder what went wrong with our society when you need stock quotes while driving, and the kids needs movies to sit down and behave. He kind of went around the subject of getting emails to your car. And that is good. You shouldn't be deleting viagra spam while driving.
Another thing is privacy and security issues. Pairing GPS with online access I see a real potential for misuse. And I hope it will never be so tied into the "car bus" that you could plant a trojan in there to disable the breaks.

Isn't this something that will be improved with Object Spaces?

Does Anders have a blog btw?

Would XAML be a public spec that could be used by others?

A very important question. Will Microsoft slap a patent on XAML or will it be available to anyone that wants to implement that schema?

This beats a video with a Bill Gates any day. Anders Hejlsberg is one of those tech icons I'd like to hear more from. I respect them more than any rock star CEO.

Well, looking just a few years back maybe Microsoft wasn't a company that took security seriously either. As the demand for people with security training increases I'm sure colleges will deliver.

Good. No matter how good a cause, it's an important principal that it's my computer, my network bandwidth, my responsibility and my choice. If I can't stop software from being automaticly installed it is no longer my computer.

You can't turn off updating now?

It's one thing if I can torrent from several Microsoft servers at once. MSFT FTP servers usually give me pretty good speed anyway.
But downloading or sharing SP2 on P2P? No way. I would never ever put a system update on my computer that I wasn't resonably confident was delivered directly from Microsoft!

As for the size, I don't care. As long as I can download and save it on CD to bring over to my non-broadband friends.

Has anyone noticed the blooper that accidently made its way into the video?

At one point it looked to me like there was someone behind the back seat...
