  Microsoft’s Iain McDonald: It’s the end of a (Longhorn) era
Time: 00:01 EST/05:01 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Iain McDonald, a guy with the humble title of Director of Project Management for Windows Server, has had a long and deep impact on Microsoft’s Windows organization.

The 15-year Microsoft veteran has served on a variety of teams, from Product Support Services, to Exchange Server, to Windows Server. He was a leader on Windows 2000, ran the “War Room” for Windows XP and has been a key member of every recent Windows release team.

I had a chance to chat with McDonald at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) 2007 in Los Angeles earlier this year. We didn’t talk a whole lot about Windows Server 2008. Instead, we touched on everything from his hobbies (motorcycles and guitars), to the “worst project ever run,” — which, in McDonald’s opinion, was Windows 2000.
