Eric Rudder, senior vice president (in charge of server and tools business) gives Lenn Pryor a ride around Microsoft's campus in his truck and you can listen in on their conversation.

Lenn Pryor is the leader of the Channel 9 team, and his fear of flying is what got us our name.

Coolest video, ever. How large is that campus?! No way Lenn was going to walk that distance...
Btw, who was the designated sit-on-the-hood-camera-guy? Scoble?

Seriously tho. Great work guys.

Eric is by far one of my favourite Microsoft guys (sorry Lenn!). I've had the chance to exchange a few emails, and he's always been fab (and always answered quickly!).

He's the kind of person I feel like I could email if I really wanted to, but he's also the kind of person I wouldn't email unless I needed to.

Very cool Big Smile

Thanks Lars. Campus is BIG ... 5 square miles or so. No way I was going to walk that distance. In all honesty, Scoble wasn't strapped to the hood, but you gave me a great idea for next time Wink We used some camera's mounted to the dash with styrofoam and duct tape. Mics were rigged to the sun visors, but I had a little help from my friend Bob, who is a producer. Some day I am going to put Bob on camera because he has helped us a lot to do what we do. Oh and Jeremy - I forgive you man ... just for Eric though Wink

Is it me or did Lenn get off where he got on? Smiley

I've been to the main Microsoft Campus multiple times and each time I visit I am more and more impressed. It's definitely a huge place.  Essentially I think of it as a college campus: lots of buildings and lots of smart people walking around, talking about the latest and greatest technology.

I don't think either of us have plans or the physique for the silver screen, no worries there ... we are sticking to software.
