Yeah, that was really the biggest draw for me. I wanted to get back into a position that leveraged my background and gave me an opportunity to impact something really big. Thanks John!

I think a lot of those analogs are in place but I still need some time to figure out the details. Keep an eye out for my announcement of a new MS-focused blog because I aim to write about stuff like this. Agreed with your general request though.

That's a good question and I have no idea what the answer is. Shoot me an email with details and I'll look into it. miked -at- microsoft.com.

Thanks, Michael. I'm glad you're giving everything a try. We have a way to go but the team is making incredible progress very quickly so keep an eye on Silverlight!

As Brian said, Silverlight is making huge progress fast. Remember, we're only a couple of years into it. Part of my job is to help accelerate these numbers. As for the current specifics I'm too new to offer any details but I'll dig into it soon.

Inevitably. We should otherwise grab lunch in SF sometime and catch up.
