Linden plays guitar on most of the songs, and there are many other guest appearances, including Bruce Cockburn, John Hiatt and Daniel Lanois.

The resulting product, Microsoft Office Communicator, which brings together email, IM telephony and other features on the PC, began shipping last May and is currently in the hands of more than 10 million users, he says. Microsoft's goal is to attract 200 million.
