I think this is dead on. I think at Microsoft that guy was Dave Cutler. Most of the really well designed stuff seems to have him at the helm - NT4.0, bits of XP, Win2k, Windows Server 2003 and then Azure.

I have a suspicion that Satya's rise to CEOdom via Azure's success could be attributed to him too.

If you're a Cutler fan you may enjoy Showstopper[1], an account of the creation of NT.

It's a great book. Motivated me to switch industries and relocate to Seattle as an NT kernel programmer.
