This was a really interesting interview. It's good to hear that the MS VPs get along.
The story of how Debra navigated her career to become a corporate VP is really worth listening to.
My favorite bit is this:
Jennifer: What were you hired in as? Director, GM, VP...?
Debra: Corporate VP.
Ah, you're smiling ... how did I do that?
laughter
Jennifer: Pray tell!
Charles: Yeah ...
more laughter
Debra (serious): Because I am one.
Sending an e-mail out to everyone on your team each week is a great idea that I wish more executives and managers would emulate.
Rock on, Debra.

Although playing fill-in-the-missing-word is fun, I think I'll just assume you missed out a "woman" somewhere in there.
Although I'm sure there are alternatives which would fit just as well.
Or is MS operating rudderless at the moment
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...
