Microsoft Loses Key Engineer to Google

galdur writes "Microsoft Watch reports Marc Lucovsky, one of Microsoft's key Windows architects has defected to Google. His confidence in Microsoft's ability to ship software seems to have waned, too. Some hypothesize Google working on an OS but in the wake of Google's inroads into Ajax tech applications (GMail, Suggest, Maps), I think Google may have other plans for the chief software architect for Microsoft's .Net My Services ("Hailstorm")" CT Many users are reporting 404s on the Microsoft Watch article, but its working fine for others. Hopefully they'll fix their server soon.

So he can compare the logistics of deploying software on the desktop to that on the internet and pretend that Amazon can outship MS simply because the software only has to run on a few servers? Congratulations on pointing out the obvious.

NT is an achievement, but Cutler is the real jerk, considering that Digital's death partly rests on his shoulders (and Digital's shitty marketing practices, but I digress.)
