Channel 9 interviews Windows Live Expo team

Windows Live

Channel 9 has posted a 49 minute video interviewing some of the guys behind Windows Live Expo, formerly Windows Live Fremont. It looks like it was shot during November 2005, so at the time “Expo” was probably just an idea for a final name and it is referred to as Fremont throughout.

The interview gives a good insight into what Expo is all about, how it is meant to be used and how it is different from other classifieds & auction services on the Web. They also talk about the development and infrastructure of the service.
