Seventeen Minutes With Bill Gates

<p>The Channel9 Team got together with Bill Gates to chat tech. The piece that we cared about was when he talked about IE, DHTML, and Ajax.

Q. What would you say to people to question Microsoft’s commitment to the browser?

“We are doing a mea culpa there.” Excuse: Security :)

However, things are going to keep moving now.

Q. Why did it take so long for DHTML to take off?

He was surprised, even within Microsoft itself.

Atlas is here to take it to the next level.

We got to talk to the IE, Avalon, and other teams at Microsoft recently (thanks for the questions!). We will be posting the interviews soon
