Channel 9: Who do you want to see interviewed?
Okay, so, I'm curious as to what my faithful readers would say. Who should the Channel 9 folks strap-down in a chair and shoot an interview with? What questions would you ask them (both serious and not-so serious)? Should DotNetJunkies and SqlJunkies consider doing something like that?
My choices (in no particular order): Michael Rys, Andrew Cencini, Bryan Keller, Mark Fussell, Josh Allen, Dare Obasanjo, KC Lemmson.
- Given the ability to do so, what one thing would you magically undo about the .NET framework but can't?
- Will people really latch on to XQuery as much as they have SQL?
- Where do you see System.XML going after Whidbey?
- What's the single most important thing you've learned working on Whidbey and/or Yukon?
- What's the most interesting question a customer has ever asked you?
- Who influences your technology thinking the most?
- Why are man hole covers round? (or any other infamous MS interview questions)
- Assume Microsoft didn't exist. What would you be doing now?
- What's the funniest thing you ever seen at Microsoft?
- Where do you want to go tomorrow? (that is, what do see the big picture being in 2010)
- How would the industry be different if the FTC managed to break up Microsoft?
- Ginger or Mary Ann? (or for KC, the Professor, the Skipper or Gilligan?)
I've just had a nice chat with Scoble about another idea for Channel 9. I'll post that in the morning...
