Interesting. I love these "behind the scenes" type of videos.

This reminds me of how the other night my wife rented a movie ("The Secret Lives of Dentists" - not really recommended) and at least half an hour of the movie was about the family (couple with 3 small kids) all getting sick with the flu. We ourselved have 2 kids about the same age as the ones in the movie.

My reaction was "Why do I want to watch a movie of something I go through personally that's probably the most unpleasant thing I have to do?" The same applies to watching a video of bug triage.

Though perhaps the target audience in this case isn't other software product managers. Wink

Really cool! I like those kind of videos too. They show you a bit how work is done at Microsoft and hopefully in any other big company.

It's really cool

Next up how about a video of a code review?

Great idea. I'll see if I can't get to sit in on a code review.

I agree. Yes, there are issues of non-disclosure for the sake of competition but the Channel9 Team should continue to walk that thin line!

Got Milk?

As a tester who's life's work is basically shredded before his very eyes on an almost daily basis* by a triage team, I find that for the most part, the whole process of triage is one of those things that is usually best left to the imagination, kind of like sausage making.

*Note: This doesn't actually happen... Usually.

With me it's a full-time job.

well yeah kinda interesting to see for once but jeez ............ could you go any slower????

I presume this was 10 mins for Scoble and his camera before they actually had their meeting becuase if that was some of the real thing then I am suddenly no longer surprised it takes 3-4 years for an MS product to go through a revison.

Also, loved the two geeks on the sofa hiding behind 3 kilos each of 'mobile' hardware. hah

I'm the video guy

Well, obviously they were going slow to explain their methodology to me. But, good point, it'd be interesting to hide a camera in their office and find out how the sausage really is made.
