Ever wanted to know what really goes on in the minds of developers?
I have finally found a site devoted to some of the madness. (but seriously it is a great site)
Channel 9 started as a personal story from one of us about fear of flying. Lenn realized after years of dealing with it, that it was actually a fear of the unknown. The fear was conquered through learning. The more transparency into what it took to fly a plane, the more the fear went away. Lenn got to know pilots who flew planes everyday, and every time he flew he turned on Channel 9 on the in-flight audio system to listen in to the cockpit.

We think developers need their own Channel 9, a way to listen in to the cockpit at Microsoft, an opportunity to learn how we fly, a chance to get to know our pilots. Five of us in Redmond are crazy enough to think we just might learn something from getting to know each other. Were we wrong? Time will tell.

Join in, and have a look inside our cockpit and help us fly the plane.


Welcome to Channel 9.


The above is a quoted introduction on the left side. But please have a look...Kick the tires...Check the odometer reading....You will find some fresh ideas as well as get to know some of the people who bring windows and applications to you.
