Michael can be an acquired taste, like fine wine or good scotch. If you don't push past that first sip, you'll never know the deep, tantalizing world known to us connoisseurs as @mlucy. (But if you do, please let it be a matter of public record that we discovered him first)
Thanks, apologies for my comment being offensive... but I should be able to state objectively what I thought detracted from the message of an otherwise fantastic announcement. I in no way mean to pass any judgement on Michael as a person...
Still, his voice seems better than many other software developers. But, I know what you mean: I've had problems listening to some UK developer videos. (I'm US.)
On closer inspection of the video: I'm jealous of any company that lets their employees walk around the office with their shoes off. Not only are they super-smart, they're cool too.
(Sorry for this shallow, superficial observation. I'm still learning about databases and programming.)
