Chris Sells makes me want to work for Microsoft

There's a cool video on Channel 9 where Chris Sells talks about Microsoft culture and their (agile?) software development methodologies.  Wow. What a good evangelist for MS.  It's the kind of honesty that we rarely get to see in the business world. 

I don't know about you, but I get so turned off by business marketing speak.  It really makes me want to go live and work on a farm somewhere just to get away from stupid Dilbert-esque business stuff.  But, watching this interview makes me want to pick up and move to Redmond. Not that they'd have me there, but it seems like a fun place to work.  Cool guy.  He really comes off as being down-to-earth.  Now this may be marketing in itself, just in a different package, but that's okay.   Marketing is not going to go away, so I'd rather live in a world filled with down-to-earth marketing.
