Planning for the future

I am planning guests for future shows and I thought I would take the opportunity to find out the community opinions. So what kind of shows would you like to see? More developer shows? More interviews with OEMs and Microsoft?  Or features looking at related technologies like Windows Home Server? Leave me a comment and let me know the type of interviews you would like to see.

Thanks!

Less interviews is mine... Some of them just seem to drag on so I tend to not listen to them, or they just sound like a marketing drone going on and on.

I prefer the start of the show, readers letters, details on new plugins, etc.

I agree about the marketing stuff... there have been a few that were way too heavy on that, I think the AMD Live! (if I'm remembering the right one) was one of these;  I think I'd like to see more interviews with Microsoft people.  Interviews with installers and some of the specific problems/work arrounds that they come up with would also be interesting.

Perhaps what I'd like to see (just thinking out loud here) is covering how to accomplish something specific - almost a guide for doing more advanced things with Media Center, what problems you run into, and how to work arround them.  Maybe look at something like Systm (http://revision3.com/systm/) for inspiration/what I'm talking about?
