Actually, the job I interviewed for was in Kirkland, so I wouldn’t be moving.

Heard you’re interviewing with Google. Hope all goes well. But if you do get the job, Seattle’s going to miss you.

I was a little worried at first, but then I realized, oh, if I accidentally send it, in reality I’m just going to paste some text into the email. Not a big deal.

Yeah, I understand the reasons for having us use it, but at this point stuff like that is probably not likely to get fixed. Now, suppose I clicked “Paste” and it formatted my hard drive… they’d probably fix that. In a patch. Later.

i bet you were absolutely terrified you’d click the “send” button on the bill gates screengrab

also, maybe they’re making you guys use it as guinea pigs so it’s better when it gets to the rest of us? or is it more-or-less ready for release?

Imagine what they rejected….

That send button really bothers me. Almost as much as the flag. I blame the 2nd guy. The guy who says “wow you’re right, this is a great idea.”

It’s okay to come up with stupid ideas, but being sold one is a different thing all together.

Vista is the brainchild of such people.
