Bill Gates: Backstage at the Office Developer Conference

Posted By: Dan Fernandez | Feb 11th @ 10:03 PM

Once again, we catch up with Bill Gates on Channel 9. This time we talk to Bill at the Office Developer Conference and he shares the history of Office as a developer platform, some hints on the future of Access, how he personally uses Office 2007, if he still writes code, and his view on whether Office has hit the productivity plateau.

Anyway: awesome interview. I like the way how Dan does interviews - also the weekly show is great!! Keep it coming Dan.

Yeah, definitely liking this new influx of videos.

Now if only they would post a (provisional even!) schedule in advance so that we could post questions that we think Dan should ask whoever he is interviewing....

Cool interview, I do like the way Bill takes time for answering your questions. He's such a brain. Although he will alwys have the public against him, it's unbelievable to see what an amount of knowledge this guy has.
I'm sure Ray Ozzie has aswell and a lot of others around MS, but this guy was there from the beginning. It's a good thing that he has chosen to do what he really likes to do: spending time with his wife for charity, but it's a great loss for the computer world!
