>Tonight he will appear for an hour on the Charlie Rose Show. Should be interesting. Charlie has the talent to ask both deep intellectual questions as well as the simple questions that other don't ask. If you miss the show, it will be up on his website in a few days.

>I wonder why Microsoft is doing the soft sell. It would have been nice to have a multi-city live feed like for the Win95 launch. Perhaps Bill G. realizes that he doesn't really have to sell Vista to the public. Computer mfrs will simply have it pre-loaded whether we want it or not.


Thanks for the heads up. Charlie Rose is the best interviewer in the business. I suspect he will talk about BillG's philanthropy a heck of a lot more than he talks about Vista. For sure he is not a Microsoft shill.

Going downstairs to set the recorder....
