  Michael Wallent: Windows Vista for Developers
Time: 15:12 EST/20:12 GMT | News Source: Channel 9 | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

Michael Wallent, General Manager and long time WPF team lead who also happens to be extremely passionate about Vista, talks with us about Vista from a developer perspective (describing what makes Vista appealing to developers and why). Of course, developers are also users and Vista is a highly tuned user-centric OS to the nth degree, so Michael and Charles wax on this as well. Enjoy!

AW: This video is the first in a series for Vista Week. Channel 9 and Channel 10 are dedicating an entire week (a 9-day week in C9's case) to Windows Vista coverage. C10 will also cover Office 2007 on Thursday.
