I hate the tiny menus you get once you click on All Programs in Vista and Win7... Such wasted screen realestate. I'd take XP exploding menus over that any day. At least I can see all my apps at once

gotta have it

edit: sorry for all the util's in my start menu .. fact is - ever since they decided to go with TEXT for everything i use Rocketdock for all my frequent apps

i think there should be a mode in Windows - Right brain / left brain - or text / images

id turn on images to navigate (you know - icons! for computer / netwrk etc)

ps - whats jeff talking about double enter being fixed? its not :)

I used this site... they actually let you take a YouTube vid link and convert it for you to avi or mp4... pretty cool

Also used Movie Maker 2.6 (the version that works) haha

if you need the wmv of my vid let me know and I'll upload it...

Small? :-) I'm saving room for all the other posters/signs that I am sure you all (and hopefully Jamie too!) will do in the future.

the alien(s) are from old google park cartoons - the sales aliens - that ms must defeat

I'm not sure how the alien fits with the revolution them, but somehow it does. I like the matrix color theme, the c:\del.bat, and the idea that C9 has a ROI. That last one made me snort.

;)

edit: what we need is a spinning 9 -(revolution/revolving)
Reminds me of that old ibm commercial "but i can make our logo spin"

can anyone or does anyone know how to spin that 9 from the tshirt designs?

maybe 3d-ize it ... chrome-ize it?
i suck at animation .. but actually a revolving 9 ani sums it up?
would look good above word revolution anyway...

Nice. I've posted these up on a section of the big board in our hallway where my team shares stuff.

If you want to create a poster to help motivate us, add them to this thread. ;-) Please keep them safe for work as we have other people and customers who walk down the hall.

It's gotta be something to do with Live ID then, because that's the point it goes pete tong.

Interesting point Minh. In thinking back to filming last week, it did feel a lot like the original Who We Are video where we framed what we wanted to create with Channel 9. There has been a lot of good and fair feedback from plenty of people over the years, some that we've gotten to, others not.

We're hoping that by focussing much more on Channel 9 as a single place, it will allow us to incorporate much more of that same feedback. Also this sam focus is a key contributor to how we were able to improve the performance of the site . We will continue to do work on reliability/performance so that we have a solid foundation for the new release.

In a couple of weeks we'll do a deep dive around the UX / Wireframes with Nishant (we're looking to do this the week of July 20) that should help explain more.

But, for now we wanted to get out in front of it with you all and explain where we're headed so that we don't catch folks by surprise.

Jeff,

I hope that you get to do what you say you want to do. What I mean is that today's message is consistent with that in the "Who are we?" video. I don't think you wanted to deliver a sub-par product prior to and during the C9V4 roll-out. But you definitely did. The site is blazing fast today, though. I'm very impressed.

Duncan,

You give me too much credit on the feedbacks. Certainly there were many other Niners who gave helpful feedbacks.
