Robert Hess is cool. This interview is cool.
Here are some ideas as to the things that I am interested in.
1) C# team heads, + VB.NET team heads, discussing future of the .NET framework, did it achieve or reach the potential it was made for? Areas of improvment, adoption expecations versus actual restults. Did it basically live up to its expectations. Also what will come in C# 4.0, and VB.NET next.
2) How Multi-Core processing will affect the way we write applications. In the past decades , most people were not dealing with multiple threads in their applications. How will this affect C# and .NET in general, and the programming model in particular, and how transactions will come to play here.
3) Future of cryptography: As we have more powerful processing powers, what are the new stuff that will make online experiance secure and private?
4) Windows Vista design challenges and unexpected bumps during development. Where does Windows stand on security now as compared to its previous versions. Also, what about the content protection technology, is this bad or good?
5) How will online experiance , the web , will evolve. What are new visions that MS has that will make the future more interesting than it is already.
6) Software Technology meeting Biological Genetics: Basically bioinformatics and how software will simplify understanding of biological function at the gene level. What MS is doing to improve this growing field.
It would be
very interesting for me to at least get one of these topics talked about in the Technology roundtable with Mr. Hess.
PS: Its nice to see Channel9 going to the next level in terms of content.
