Today I'll stop my 3rd person perspective. I'm going to write a little bit more about what I do to help MacBU ship great software and provide some color around what's it's like to work on Mac software at Microsoft. Often when we have press events or special visits from our MVPs I'll give them a tour of the Mac Lab and explain what we do. They've always found it very interesting and so I thought I'd share a virtual tour of our Mac Lab. Let's get started:

Yeah, but all the ideas for Tiger came from BillG's keynotes, so it's all good.

Including the use of a opengl accelerated desktop which they already thought of in 2000? Bill Gates keynote's, aren't those the keynotes which demonstrated the xbox had 1 frames a second when conan o brien was using it.
