I worked with Steve Sinofsky briefly, and he was a brilliant engineer. Unfortunately had to lead some products with very stiff existing competition. What I find interesting is his fascination with the periodic table. I recall Bill also being very fascinated with it, and could talk about it’s intricacies for days. I’m wondering if that’s a strong predictor of technical curiosity, or mere coincidence. Or Bill just liked hiring other nerds with similar interests!
