Steve Sinofsky hits MIT, Harvard

Another MS exec is on campus this week as Steve Sinofsky visits MIT tomorrow night (10/19) and Harvard Thursday night (10/20). I love the subject (below) and the emphasis on all questions welcome:

Building Microsoft Office or what it is like to order pizza for 400,000,000 people

In this highly interactive talk you will see what it is like to design the next generation Microsoft Office and what it is like to design and build the interface that will be used by hundreds of millions of people.  You will learn how a small team designed and developed a new metaphor for computer-human-interaction that improves upon the Xerox PARC developed metaphor of drop down menus and the decades old metaphor of toolbars.  You will get a sneak preview of the new Office “12” product.  There will be plenty of time to ask questions and learn about Microsoft and the different opportunities for you.  No questions are off limits and all are welcome!
