World meet Patty, Patty say "Hello World"
When I became part of the Microsoft Surface Team almost 3 years ago, as part of the "New Employee Orientation" I had the chance to see how they used robots to stress test Microsoft Surface. I thought that was the most fascinating thing in the world. Until recently, the world did not know about Patty, our stress test robot -- it was one of our "secrets". Channel 9 recently posted an interview with Joe Farro, our Software Test Engineer in charge of Patty. I am posting the video for your enjoyment. And you don't even know about our most useful test tool known as Squiddy -- but that one will have to remain a secret. ;-)
Enjoy!

I almost watched this video with interest until I found that it required some batty Silverlight plugin that will only run if I restart my browser in 32bit mode. Obviously from the new MSFail suite...Anonymous
