Interview: Dr. Nat Natarajan on GISV Strategy

Video: Nat Natarajan on FY08 Global ISV Strategy

I was able to grab a few minutes of Nat's time 2 weeks back. In this interview Nat is all business as I ping him about how Microsoft partners with the largest Independent Software Vendors. We talk about the Rhythms for this coming fiscal year and what our focus will be in working with our partners.

The following are the current Rhythms where you will see Microsoft actively engaging partners and customers over the next 12 months:

• Windows Server 2008
• Web UX (Silverlight, ASP.NET 3.5, Xbap, ASP.NET AJAX, ….)
• SQL Server 2008
• Windows Vista (Application Compatibility)
• Dynamics
• Visual Studio Orcas and .NET 3.5
• Office Business Applications (OBA for short)

Enjoy the interview.
