Driving Windows XP to market

Article Abstract:

Chris Jones, the Microsoft vice president in charge of the 1,000-person team that built the new Windows XP operating system admitted he was a Macintosh fan when he started at Microsoft in 1989. A star programmer with computer and math majors at Stanford, Jones is deemed a clear-thinking respected leader who settled arguments and balanced negotiations between marketeers and software developers. Amidst some criticism, Windows XP is being hailed as easy to use as a portal to computing and the Web.
