The Media Center Show #117 – Todd Bowra on Extenders
Todd Bowra….what to say about him. The bloody guy knows more about Extenders than anyone on the planet…now if only we could make him ignore that silly NDA he signed when he joined Microsoft! C’mon Todd!! Seriously though, Todd is one of the behind the scenes guys working an insane amount at getting the MCE Extender platform out there.
