Dave Cutler. The NT/XP/etc. architecture basically stalled as soon as he left and future improvements were incremental.

You can tell there wasn't a winer equivalent on the windows 95/98/ME teams

I'm pretty sure Dave Cutler is still at Microsoft. Cloud stuff.

I meant when he left the team.

But yea, now he's doing cloud stuff. I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence that that is now their best performing product line either. Satya can thank him for his promotion to CEO.
