In the first two parts of our interview, we talked to Alton Kwok and Brian Moudy.  In this part, we talk to Marisol Ontaneda about design, and then we get into an overview of what it means to be a program manager.  We really enjoyed our session with Alton, Brian, and Marisol, and want to thank them again for taking the time to meet with us.

Just a note about the videos: Sorry about the mess, MSN Soapbox, which I wish we could count on to use, wouldn’t play nice at all last night and it took me til now to get the files uploaded.  I won’t go through all the gory details, but this was way too hard.

OK anyway, we have MSN Soapbox videos of everything up now, so you can watch without needing Silverlight (although go get it!), and/or link or embed the videos.  Hopefully we’ll get this mess sorted out soon.

Part 1: Alton Kwok on Messenger conversation window, pawns, and more

Part 2: Brian Moudy on Messenger Groups

Not to take anything away from our talk with the Messenger guys, they were great, we’d love to do it again.  Any other Windows Live teams want to talk we’d love to talk to you, too!
