What do you want us to know about you?
One of the reasons I'm looking forward to PDC is that I'll be able to meet lots of people who use our SDKs and spend some time learning your opinions about our SDKs. One of the ways the team will be getting at these questions is by creating a questionairre that we'll be handing out at the booth. I know questionairres are kind of a pain and a hassle, but they are a convenient and clear way at getting at the questions that will help us create better SDKs in the future. To be frank, we rated low last year in our internal Microsoft poll in the category of understanding our users, and we as an organization are committed to improving that problem.
So what sorts of things would you like us to know about you and how you use our SDKs? Some questions are obvious: For how long have you been a developer or Do you find it convenient to have our docs available online? But what do you want us to know about you? What information will help us understand you better? Keep in mind, I'm not asking you to give us your biographical data in response to this blog entry; instead, I'm looking for ideas of questions that will help us to help us understand your needs in a depper way. (I hope that's not too vague a question!)
