• He wrote a ton of books and articles about Windows internals
• He was the guy that found the Sony rootkit
• He’s a two-time novelist of some seriously geeky sci-fi you’d love: Zero Day, and Trojan Horse

Of course, he’s been up to a lot of other cool stuff lately for Microsoft, and we’ll get into that on the show, as well as see what he has to say about PowerShell.
