Dave Cutler, the father of Windows NT, is now working on helping Microsoft evolve Xbox beyond a game-centric console.



From All About Microsoft:

Four years ago, Microsoft assembled a team, many with killer Windows pedigrees, to build Microsoft’s public-cloud operating system, Windows Azure (codenamed “Red Dog.”) On the all-star roster were folks like Dave Cutler, the father of Windows NT, and Hoi Vo, an expert in hypervisor development, among others.

A while back I got a tip that Cutler wasn’t doing a whole lot on the Azure front any more, since the core platform was basically “done.” He was still at Microsoft, and currently reporting directly to CEO Steve Ballmer. But word was he had moved onto new challenges.
