I keep meaning to try ask Bill Gates this question whenever he does one of his Reddit AMAs:
Bill, what are you most proud of out of the following two:
1. Getting Cutler to come over from DEC and spearhead NT.
2. Committing to backwards compatibility early on, that ensured old apps Just Worked on new versions of Windows.
I don’t think Microsoft would look like it currently does without either of those two historical paths taken.
- leecommamichael 3y agoCutler credits Steve Ballmer as the reason he joined Microsoft in the linked video.
- trentnelson 3y agoOh, absolutely. I more meant from the "CEO of Microsoft" perspective; I guess I could ask Ballmer the same thing if he did an AMA.
