Don Box takes Channel 9 on a tour of building 42 at Microsoft. What's there? The Indigo team. Code-name for a future set of .NET technologies that'll help you build and run connected systems.

You'll run into tons of people working on Indigo.

This is a long video, sorry. We just kept meeting interesting people. It's a bit long, and a bit unedited, but hope you enjoy this look inside the Indigo team.

Among the people you'll meet are (not a complete list):

Max Feingold, software design manager, the guy who did the CoEnterServiceDomain functions.

Dave Driver, software design engineer.
Dick Dievendorff, software architect, worked on COM+.
Florin Lazar, software developer engineer/test, works on transactions.
Harris Syed, software design engineer, works on unmanaged part of Indigo.
Mark Gabarra, build facilitation developer.
Kitty Carpenter, administrative assistant for the Indigo team.
Rodney Limprecht, architect.

Cool.  And let us never forget Don's contribution to one of the greatest MSDN TV episodes:

The fun picks up around the 15th minute Smiley Thanks Don!

So many times were so focused on a piece of a project or a deadline we  forget about the "team", what a great tribute to teamwork. Great contribution Don and Channel 9. It's great to see all of the people you work with and that are a part of the Indigo team.
Sincerely Thanks.

I really like Don's description of Channel 9, right at the end: "Microsoft reality TV".

Good movie, and pardon me for going offtopic, but what videocamera are you using?

To often do we just take for granted that there are these wonderfull tools available for us to use, and we never realize that there were developers that made this. It's nice to see some of those faces behind some of the stuff that we use. Being a .NET Developer, I am pretty excited to see some of the advancement that come with Indigo and all the other new technologies.
