Nisha and I kicked off the maiden episode of Microsoft DevRadio on MSDN. It you are like me (meaning you love to hear me talk) then this is just your cup. It’s a decent overview of the benefits and compelling opportunities in Windows 8 for developers and entrepreneurs.
Then again, if you are looking for quality content, solid facts, excellent in anything, or witty commentary you’ll need look elsewhere (like here). After all, it’s me – not even Nisha can rescue everything.
Note: my favorite part is how my lips don’t sync perfectly with my words. That’s how I really talk! People love that. :)
