I have to take responsibility for headline, so it's not Taco's fault. Sorry, I should've made it 'Microsoft Insists IE7 *will be* Standards Compliant' or something...
Thanks buffoverflow, your comments are helpful. I will indeed adopt the Q&A style next time. I should also mention that I got very short notice about having the chance to interview Tim and Radia (literally I was told of the opportunity the same day I conducted the interview). So I didn't have much time to prepare questions. It's fair to say my interests are in the Web (Tim's focus) than in the security/networking side of things (Radia's focus), so the questions probably were slanted to the Web.
Live and learn though:-) I certainly now know what to do to make/. readers happy next time I interview a computing industry luminary! I hope you get a chance to listen to the podcast though, as I think you'll enjoy Tim and Radia's comments in their full context (despite my clumsy interviewing style). Thanks, Richard
Ouch! If it's any consolation, part 2 delves into the future of the Web a bit more. Topics discussed will include: Web-connected devices, Web Office, how Sun fits into 'web 2.0', and I pick Tim's brain about ATOM (an alternative RSS format that Tim helps drive) and GData. I haven't written that up yet (it took me 3 hours to do part 1, I might add). I'll try to do better in pt 2;-)
Incidentally, what would you consider a "worthwhile question or topic"? I could always follow up with Tim and Radia, if there's a topic you're particularly interested in.

Given some of the comments about wanting more context, I've now done a podcast of the entire interview.
