Juan Goni is a Senior Program Manager at Microsoft in the Exchange Online Deployment group and invited us over to take a look at his home setup. Juan has some of the same challenges many of us do, for starters he’s got a bunch of machines and one set of speakers, here he uses a mixing board to control the audio from each. Juan also controls lighting through his PC and uses Media Center and extenders throughout his house to distribute video and music.
Bharat Shah is the General Manager of Microsoft’s Online Services division. His group is responsible for taking Microsoft’s business productivity software to the cloud, essentially turning traditional utilty software (you buy, deploy, manage) into distributed (Internet/Intranet) hosted services. For enterprise customers to small businesses, being able to subscribe to software services versus taking on the responsibilities and costs associated with deployment and management of software systems is very compelling.
Here, we talk about why this approach to software-as-a-service is so important as we move more of our software skyward. The term BPOS used in the conversation is more of a code name then an official Micrsosoft product moniker. In this case it refers to a suite of communication and collaboration hosted services like Exchange, SharePoint, etc – but there will be more: that’s one of the key points here.

At the recent UK launch of Silverlight 3 in the UK I managed to catch up with Ian Ellison-Taylor.
Ian is the general manager of the Presentation Platform and Tools which means that he’s general manager for things like WPF, Silverlight, the toolkits associated with them and the tooling that goes with them – generally, this makes him a very interesting chap to chat to 
and in this video we cover lots of semi-random ground that you’ll hopefully find interesting!
