WOOH! WOOH!

...watching this right now... just wanted to say that the

"Low res" & iPod versions are of last week's show....

update:
For a really good interview on MaryJo's book go to the Windows Weekly podcast # 57

http://twit.tv/ww57

Where MaryJo talks to Paul & Leo about MS 2.0.

(was Dan mentioned in that podcast as well?)

Awesome episode... and ~~Barney~~ Brian is back on board. Btw. you guys should call one of the niners during your recording. You know like having her/him on the show for a minute or so - would be an interesting thing.

I want my scalps!

Calling niners sounds like a good idea, as long as it doesn't end up like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jHafp4R4Ho

Good catch, my bad, updated the links.

As for Mary Jo on TwiT, I'll have to check it out. I doubt I was mentioned though as Keller and I are below interns:) and the big news at that time was Yahoo+Microsoft.

LOL @ video. Interesting, I like this idea and yI'd be willing to give it a shot, I need to think through how we do this (technically) as I'm not sure we have a way to put callers through over a loud speaker...perhaps we'll do this using Live Meeting or Messenger?

What's the right way to do this?

- Should we do it a la Call for Help where we take folks questions?
- Get some niners to respond to new announcements (eg: Yahoo + MSFT)
- Have folks send in pre-recorded (audio or video) comments or questions on a topic?
- Something else entirely?

I like the second option the most: get some niners to respond to announcements or stuff like that.

Also the niner could have a "pick of the week" thing: like the niner pick... could get interesting.

It finds lightbulbs.

I'd definitely love to see questions from Niners get answered in this show. There are a lot of questions floating around in the Coffeehouse, but obviously there's not going to be a representative from every single product team scanning the forum and jumping in on a discussion, which means the question is left hanging.

It would be great if you guys could pick up on some of the stuff that's being wondered about in the forums or something, and seek out somebody from the relevant team for an answer.

Obviously it couldn't be stuff like "Will this and this be in Windows 7" or "What company are you guys secretly planning to buy now", but perhaps it could be things like "What the hell is up with Ultimate Extras" or "How will IE8 impact the sidebar and development for it".
