In some parallel universe, an alternate version of me went to work for Bill way back in 2000, when we both worked in Microsoft Consulting.  I don't know if that bizarro Adam survived, but if he did, I suspect he's very, very tired.
We shot this video first thing in the morning, but you can see that Bill still has a lot of energy and passion around his job, which is basically making Windows Server go better.  He told me about some of the Server 2003-2008 improvements that they've made, some things that really made me sit up and take notice.  How about 40% more TS users on the same hardware?  How about a 10% reduction in power consumption, under identical workloads?  Faster network and disk transfers?  All stuff you get just by upgrading the OS.  Cool Stuff.
