I got the chance to meet with the infamous Tjeerd Hoek and Jenny Lam from Microsoft Design, who leads the teams that designed Windows Vista. These people don’t get enough recognition for the influence they have on one of the most popular products in the world. I learned a lot from both of them, some of which will soon be posted.
Thanks to Tim Cahill, from WPF team for taking the picture.

I agree with Morten: Jenny Lam is really beautiful.
Wish i was there, and have the oppurtunity of meeting the guys that make most of our “daily chores” a lot easier.
Carpe Diem, Long Zheng.

I thought you didn’t exist!
all those people that were saying you’re just a marketer for Microsoft, this might be even more proof to add to the shitload that you are REAL!

@raskren: No lol. Tjeerd is married with children and he is holding a laptop bag if you look closely.

I knew Ms. Lam in design school and I agree with you all. She is the total package: Smart, Great Designer, Beautiful, and I’m embarrassed to admit, posesses an incredible posterior.
