Here I was waiting at the Charlotte Douglas International airport waiting to catch my flight back to India. As a couple move away from one of those nice rocking chairs, I move in to occupy one of those. The husband reads out the logo in T-shirt and asks me, "Are you a SharePoint developer?" In reply, I tell him that I work for Microsoft as part of the SharePoint team. The lady in her early 40s screams, "I love SharePoint. I use it everyday." Wow... can there be something that can make me more happy? Some stranger moves in and tells me that she loves the software that my team is building. I, as a programmer, derive utmost satisfaction when realb users tell me that they're using the software I'm building. And then she goes on to add, "I don't send attachments any more in my emails. I just send them links. So, even if I had to update the document, I can very well do it and not have to resend the email."
I didn't realize this could be such a killer feature. Just makes me believe more in the cloud. Cloud is the future, I guess. I hope India gets usable Internet speeds to make cloud possible. Cloud offerings will take computers to more people in India.
