Jim Allchin: Mr. Windows
Mr. Windows is an excellent interview with Jim Allchin, the man behind Windows Vista.
"In his 15 years at Microsoft, Allchin has earned a reputation as a
straight shooter who admits when Microsoft makes mistakes. But he's
also a fierce competitor who pushed the integration of IE with Windows
98 to thwart Netscape inroads, a move that earned Allchin a center seat
at the U.S. government's anti-trust case. Later, Allchin implied that
open source was "un-American," and was skewered repeatedly by Linux
fans across the world."
