What I appreciate the most is that they even consider looking at blogs or comments from clients/developers.

Good point!

I think the question is a bit unfair. It's abit like asking someone if they like world peace. You can't really say "no".

Anyway, I'm curious about to what extent it matters WHO makes the suggestions. If two guys working at Intel says X, and 2000 home users say it's a horrible idea - who do you listen to? What I'm basicly getting at is how much "money talks", and how much is the technical merit is worth. I know this question is equally unfair and hard to answer.

I like watching these clips from the interview with  Brad. It looks to me like he really enjoy his work and got passion for the technology. I find that inspiring.

This change of mentality he talk about is a move in the right direction. I just hope technical journalists out there don't destroy this Glasnost. They have a tendency to blow even the slightest bit of hint of a rumour into war size headlines.

Eric mentions Perl. Did you even watch the video?

He's using a dual CPU... white computer? He didn't really answer the question.

True.

The rate of change is indeed a problem. And it is constantly accelerating. Every year I have to let go of some field that I used to keep up with, and focus more and more on fewer and fewer things. I think information overload is a problem for just about everyone working with development, and sometimes I wonder how my ageing brain is going to cope with this in another 20 years.

Will development become something you get into after getting your college degree and after 10 years you will have to "retire" to another profession? Or maybe the cost and effort of acquiring the necessary skills will be so high in comparison to the time you have to leverage it, that it won't even be economical - and it will all be outsourced?

I don't care much for translated technical documents. And I dislike the way the knowledgebase bugs me with  Swedish articles just because I run Swedish IE. I hope VS won't start doing the same.

My distrust comes from experience. Quite often the translators don't understand the text they are translating. And the result is unreadable.
