I'm up in Redmond this week and I stopped by to abuse the CodePlex.com team. I got to see their hardware, build servers, server room and more. You can even see how they abuse the test team. Lots of fun with Sara, Jonathan and the Whole Codeplex.com Team.

Sound is okay overall (of course Scott is louder), video a bit dark in places but overall it's fine.

Ah.....Windows XP.....Office 2003......ick!!!!!

Upgrade to Windows 7 and Office 2010. You'll be more productive and you can get back to your code faster.

And while you were talking about your dev TFS server....I'm wondering if your dev server is running TFS 2010 with Team Build 2010....gated checkin....yummy!

I thought the video quality (and audio qualiity) was great.

Suggestion: I remember watching Sara Ford interviewed by Scoble and was always impressed and loved her VS tips. How about a Podcast with her to catch up on the doings at CodePlex?

Enjoyed this very much. I do love these behind the scenes looks where you see dev teams in their natural environment. Video and Audio quality were fine, although I was watching it from my IPod Touch.

More of these kind of informal videos would be very welcome.
