While at MIX09 this year, I had the chance to film three different interviews with Microsoft folks. The first of these interviews is with Microsoft's Steven Martin<\/a> wherein we go over the bevy of announcements this year: Expression Blend<\/a>, Silverlight 3<\/a>, Media Server and Video, Web Platform<\/a>, Web App Gallery<\/a>, cloud computing with the Azure<\/a> Services platform, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Our discussion starts around the Web Platform and the installers that were released at MIX09. We talk about they fit into the full management of an applications life-cycle. We then get on to discussing the support for PHP and many PHP applications in Microsoft's Web Platform. This leads naturally to a discussion of the the App Gallery where Microsoft is hosting community projects, many of them open source, that can be added to the Web Platform.<\/p>\n

Getting into cloud computing and Azure, we next talk about the different deployment options (or runtime environments) that divide up Steven's world: the local host, in a data center, to a hoster, or cloud, here, Azure. This last runtime environment gets us into a discussion of why you'd use cloud computing and, implicitly, a discussion of what Microsoft's understanding of "cloud computing" is.<\/p>\n

Silverlight, Microsoft's RIA and multi-media platform, is the next topic of discussion. Here, we talk about the the out of the browser experience, synchronizing across different applications, and a few other topics.<\/p>\n
