The
MIT Technology Review has published a Q&A with Julie Larson-Green, head of Windows product development and successor to Steven Sinofsky, who exited Microsoft last month.
The interview offers a thoughtful back and forth on the development and goals of Windows 8, specifically the Live Tile display and the integration of touch in future computing. Larson-Green has been with Microsoft for 20 years participating in the evolution of Windows and clarifies a lot about Microsoft's approach with Windows 8.
