Why do I work at Microsoft?

Augmented Reality 1 Minute

You know, I now have a lot of choices of where I would like to work. Why do I stay at Microsoft? You have to go no further than Notorious B.G. on MTV. Interesting that if you watch the show on the Web you get more video, including what Bill thinks of Open Source, than if you watched it on TV.

By the way, this is the thing I like about the new style of conferences I’ve been to recently — Dave Winer calls it the unconference. By getting the audience to ask questions and keep the format interactive it engages them and makes them a part of the event. I love the round-table format. I wish we could do more of that at Microsoft.

Personally, I wish I could watch those kids interact with Bill for a few hours.

    “In order to offer a broad selection of full-length music videos on-demand and free of charge, MTV Overdrive uses Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect videos from unauthorized re-distribution.

    “Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Windows Media Player Plug-in for Macintosh does not support Windows DRM. If DRM support becomes available for Macintosh, MTV will develop a version of MTV Overdrive that works on a Mac.”

    Terrific.

  3. So, I’ll never hear what Bill G thinks of open source, but we clearly see what he thinks of the Mac!
