When would you say the best hackers stopped building stuff on Microsoft platforms?

When they all started writing for the web.

Not sure exactly when that was, though, day and date.

I think the best hackers are still writing systems software and algorithmic software. Web development doesn't really appeal to them from what I can see. This at least applies to the awesome hackers I personally know.
