Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

Leave it up to Apple finally acknowledge that they are in fact a hardware company. And what a great name for a product… Boot Camp will finally raise the bar for the PC OEMs. You are now on notice and either need to figure out how to make your commodity business work or risk losing all the folks like me who care what our PCees look and sound like. Any company that spends time designing a good power supply for a laptop in a market where no one else even thinks about that has a special place in my heart.
Imagine if we named this thing! It would be called: “Microsoft Windows XP Professional Boot Selector Beta for Windows and Macintosh Systems”. But Boot Camp says what it does in 2 words .
Kudos to Apple, especially Steve Jobs. Off to store.apple.com to find out what new shiny object I need for a computer. Maybe I’ll start with a mini.
What’s next? WMA support on the iPod? (don’t I wish)
