Day 1, MIX08

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Most of my time with MIX so far revolved around interviewing influentials within Microsoft. Yesterday, I interviewed Tim Harris and Chris Wilson. They are both from vastly different areas within Microsoft, as you can see from the interviews themselves.

  • 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..

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).

Update: The Chris Wilson and Tim Harris interviews have been fixed. Feel free to re-download either
