Keith Moves On

Words from the man himself (actually, he's half the man he used to be as you can see here):

After many years of work on Web services and WSE, I’ve decided to move on. Starting next week, I’ll be working on the Windows Media Player team. I’ve appreciated working with many of you and can’t describe how great it feels to have so many cool people using this product. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

I have mixed feelings on this one, Keith and I were the first people on the WSE team back in the days when many people expected all we'd deliver would be some samples and Indigo was going to be shipping tomorrow anyway. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, including a couple of full product releases of WSE, and I'm a little sad that he's moving on. Still, let's be realistic, 2 1/2 years working with me is enough for anyone :-)

Wow. This comes as a bit of a shock. Keith is definitely one of the good guys. His very entertaining presentations at Sell's WS/XML DevCon will be sorely missed (most notably, the heckle service). I understand that things change and we all move on eventually but he will be missed in this space. Best wishes and success to Keith in his new role. He leaves an excellent group of people on the WSE team and I still look forward to more goodness from the rest of you. :)

Cheers,
