Bill Hill is one of the Niners' favorite Microsoft personalities. He is also a legend around Microsoft and within the typography community. Bill spends most of his time thinking about how to make reading on a screen the best possible experience for human readers.

We wanted to find out what's on Bill's mind these days so we thought we'd have a chat with Bill and Lake Bill on crystal clear day was the perfect setting for learning about Bill's passion for enabling digital democracy. What's digital democracy? Well, watch and listen to find out. Bill has even written up a Declaration of Digital Independence.

Tune in. Bill Hill is on Channel 9 again!

A new definition of frustration: Seeing a video you want to watch but finding that the global caching systems wont serve it up to you:s
I can download it which at the Channel 9 Ultra HD size will take 2 Hrs + or wait for the caches to catch up. FRUSTRATING.

Great video, thanks. Favourite quote:

"If you were the Bill Gates of the 15th century, you might have had twelve books."
