hehehe.. One of the guys on my team was on the Movie Maker team and he got nervous about that link this week.. basically Bill's retired today so some folks are digging up some left over articles form the DOJ (2002) days to kind of add some colour to his last day.
If you succeed or do the right job, you get a smile or congrats from Bill.. if you screw up, its the worst feeling in the world to have his sights set on you..
