Somehow I really enjoy listening to people with so different backgrounds. I think it's because this is so rare in the more traditional companies where you need a specific degree for a specific job.

This immediately reminded me that we do need another Bill Hill interview. The hike around the campus is still my favourite video on channel 9.

Cheers,
Martin

Back to the topic, very good interview; one of the few videos that I actually sat through for an hour listening. He sure is one guy with a good work-life balance ratio Tongue Out

I guess it would explain why WinFS failed. Even in the planned 2008 release SQL Server still lacks a bunch of key features that are absolutely required for WinFS to function.

Well, may be in the next 10 years or so, it would get there.

Otherwise very interesting to watch.

I'd be really interested to hear exactly what was so impossible about it? Does anyone know of the real reason it was canned? Was it a technical challeng, perhaps to do with performance and resources, or was it more market positioning? (i.e. if you shipped WinFS inside the OS, does that cut into SQL Server's market share?).
