New video interview on Channel 9 with Scott Gutherie, where he talks about IIS 7 among other things.
In this interview, we covered a lot of ground. Watch and learn about:
- MIX07
- What’s doing on the web technologies front
- What’s so special about IIS 7.0
- Why you should care about Orcas
- What it’s like to go into meetings with executives like Gates, Ballmer, and Ozzie
- How, even with as much status and power Scott has, he still doesn’t have his own parking spot (this made me feel a little better about myself and my lack of accomplishments)
And more, of course.
See the video at Channel 9: Scott Guthrie - MIX07, Work, and Personal Details Revealed.
