Quentin,

I wouldn't worry about it. It's of no use to the average user and doesn't offer anything that would be of any value or advantage in normal everyday use. I won't bother to explain what it is because it's not an end-user functionality that's worth trying to understand.

Chuck,

I thought it was a new OS that would automatically put my dictated letters in envelopes, stamp them, and then make me a cup of coffee whilst it went out and put them in the post box Jawdropping!

It's a pretty amazing product. Along with WPF it's one of the most exciting technologies from Microsoft

Nothing to do w/ SR however.

Here's a video interview with the architect

It's pretty amazing for IT administrators and programmers. It's useless for the average user.

IMHO the interview was about the most useless and worthless thing I have ever seen. I killed that after the first 5 minutes of the architect giving the dull and boring details of how he paid for his college degree. You may get a kick out of this kind of ridiculously poor interview style, but it'll never get on 60 minutes. Barf!
