MIX08:

Interviews

• Tim Harris, Program Manager for the Platform Strategy Team at Microsoft.
  Tim plays a huge role in event logistics. Just about every major Microsoft event (think MIX, PDC, WinHEC, etc.) is an event which he and his team play a huge role in planning and coordinating.
  
• Chris Wilson, Platform Architect for Internet Explorer.
  Chris is deep within the nuts and bolts of Internet Explorer, as is likely implied by his title at Microsoft. He has a heavy hand in the design and development process behind Microsoft’s web browser..
  
• Jensen Harris, Group Program Manager for the Office User Experience team at Microsoft.
  Jensen and his team work on the user experience behind Microsoft Office. They came up with the Ribbon UI, which many see as one of the best things to come to Office 2007 since spell check.
  

Views and Experiences:

• Donate to the YWCA: Asli is trying to get donations to the YWCA (a non-profit which aims to help women and eliminate racism/sexism, etc.) , and her plan is to get people to donate to the YWCA by handing out these awesome t-shirts for women (guys, please don’t wear these) to those who donate. Any amount is acceptable, but donating more is preferred. Want to know how? Instructions are in the video.
  

The codec used for the videos is the DivX codec simply because of how fast the codec encodes the footage on my rendering box. Want the codec? Click here to download it from the DivX home page (avoid installing the crapware) or simply grab it as a part of many of the freely available codec packs (be careful with these).
