  Cutler's a legend and only because he didn't design an open-source OS is he basically forgotten by everyone except OS architects.

      "I will walk through your walls" is somehow incredibly intimidating despite being a totally nonsensical threat. Great book, but they didn't make it seem like a lot of fun to work on NT.
