I just finished listening to this week’s Windows Weekly podcast: Paul and LEO were interviewing David Caulton from the Zune team. It was pretty interesting, although the quality of David’s microphone made for some annoying clicks, and I tend to lose focus when I hear so much random noise.
I guess they don’t relay the questions beforehand (usually happens in normal face-to-face interviews), because it seemed that David was really nervous, as though he was worried Leo would tear him apart, or something…
I have this bittersweet feeling towards the Zune. I want to love it, however I want to see more features added to it, like a dedicated podcasting section (something they talked about), as well as better quality album art (I heard that the current implementation rescales a 200×200 image to 240×240, which makes for some pixilated art). I probably will get one, although I know that once I buy a 1st Gen device, they’ll announce a 2nd Gen.
Anyway, I’m glad they’ve started to do interviews (which makes sense considering the popularity of Leo Laporte). I enjoyed their previous interview with Jensen Harris, who works on the Office team – I have to wonder why he’s been so silent lately.
If you’ve never listened to Windows Weekly (or if you’ve never heard of it: it’s part of the TWiT network and is co-hosted by Paul Thurrott), I’d suggest you give it a whirl.
