Why don’t you guys try video podcasts? Check Google Analytics blogs for how they’ve done it, voice is choppy in parts, good content though.
Good work guys. Looking forward to many many more. Will there be new guests in every episode? Will it be possible to tell us thru twitter/blog who it will be? Maybe subscribers can post queries/questions and have you choose the top 1-5 ones to ask them. Good luck.
Hi Vineet. Thanks for the idea, we’ll definitely try to work on it.
A great first time effort there! Nice to see a tech podcast hosted by Indians.
Awesome Work Guys !!!!
Awesome podcast!! Keep up the good work guys.Windows 7 rocks!!
Gr8 Work Abhishek & Manan….!!!
Very nice initiative.At some places, felt audio could have been better (even at 192kbps bitrate ) I would like to hear only from MSFTies, technical, upcoming products as well as about their hobbies etc. Next you can have a talk with Marcus Schmidt, Angus Logan, Steve Clayton, from Windows Live team, Windows 7 Team and also from MS India.
Good work sir…hoping/waiting for next episode…
We are in different cities, and are guests from anywhere in the world. However, we might add post some videos randomly from events or great people we meet.
You can check a few videos I did from Microsoft TechEd India 2009, Hyderabad at http://vimeo.com/baxiabhishek.
Jai ho!
good work guys….
Yes, the audio is scratchy and just passable. We hope we'll improve.
We have your wishlist in mind, and i'll confess, are on our radar as well
Awesome Podcast…….great work Guys!!!
i'm liking the desktop features…its gonna be fun shaking the windows, and the transparency option to see the desktop…pretty neat, me likes
Very keen on the prospects of Win7. XP is still by far the best OS I have used. But Vista dissapointed a lot. So far from whatever comments and reviews I have seen, looks like MS has done well to trim down the OS.
Hopefully features like the XP mode will be stable as well. I need it just to support apps like Cygwin or VmWare in my system. Cools features like Shake'em intrigues me as well. All in all, I really hope MS delivers a good stable OS this tym with the Win7. Cant wait to fall in love again.. its been pretty long tym since XP
Nice podcasts folks. Hopefully u keep bringing more MS guys on board here. Its a pretty good platform for MS enthusiasts to share, explore and discuss ideas and experiences. As a suggestion, I would like to see people from the development wing answering your questions on podcast. Also, apart from Win7, am looking fwd to new exciting technologies like Sliverlight being discussed here.
