J Allard (I can't believe he has an entry in wikipedia that's actually up-to-date) spoke at the Zune all hands meeting today and I must say, he's a great speaker. Unlike BillG or Ray Ozzie who speak rather matter-of-fact-ly during their discussions, J really makes you think that he truly believes in what he does. After hearing him speak, I'm almost tempted to stay and take on Everest with him (he used climbing mountains as a metaphor). Now that's a good speech.
It's kind of strange how speech can change people's minds, make people do things, and trigger all sort of emotions. I understand how that works for someone you have a relationship with like your family or your friends, but for some random person you see on a podium, why does your mind react?
Of course, when you see stuff like this on stage, you can't help but feel amused... ;)
