Very well done interview. You are actually letting the person you interview speak and not be interrupted. It’s rare these days. Thank you!

[redonk]

Let's not underestimate the significance of these videos. He's not just reminiscing about the past, he's documenting history about some of the most important developments to ever occur in technology. This is like getting to listen to Ford talk about designing car parts with colleagues. The development of early operating systems has changed the world as we know it, much like the modern automobile.

"Does it Matterhorn" had me crack up. That's a brilliant name for the circumstance!

[jimross]

As someone who trained and certified on Windows 2000 and has followed through supporting present day systems, this was amazing. Thank you. Explains so many things. Like why I'm bald...

[RARufus]

So glad to see you have Dave Cutler on. He's a living legend in the realm of coding.

[TurntableTV]

Two legends talking about Windows development. What a time to live in. Thank you, mr. Dave!

[ianjeffery]

"we didnt need to change anything - your task manager just ran...." -> Dave knowingly nods thinking "of course!"

[DawnPatrol]

It is incredibly rare to see a video about Dave Cutler. Thank you for that.

OMG!!! You have Dave Cutler in your shop!!!! Just the other day I was telling a bunch of students about him and what he did for the Windows ecosystem. I really really hope to be able to meet him somewhere….. although I live in Europe so the chances of that are slim….. looking forward to the entire interview.

As an old Tech head myself, I was so happy to wake up this morning and see a new interview with Mr.Cutler! I've read so much about his efforts with VMS and NT, it's refreshing to finally hear from him directly. Thank you Dave! Please continue to document such important minds to the industry!

[jheysen]

This adds a whole lot of context to that era! Thanks for all these videos, can’t wait for the full interview

[doalwa]

I remember that time very well. XP 64 bit edition and Windows Server 2003 were a revelation and finally made it feasible to run huge workloads on Windows machines. This man is a living legend, can’t wait for the full interview to drop. Subbed instantly!

[JohnMatthew]

So cool, a legend in the O/S space. Thank you Dave's Garage

[MorrisTart]

Again, thank you so much for talking to Dave C. Really looking forward to the full interview.

[jegermajster]

Dave, the content you produce and the pure heart you put into what you are doing is just superb. It adds a whole new layer of context to what some people (often including me) have been trying to deduce or rationalize on their own. Please keep up that fantastic work that you have been doing. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland!

[LangleyNA]

I am madly excited for however much more you and Dave Cutler can deliver to us of conversations and storytelling just like this.

This is very good! Thank you each!

[bubbavonbraun]

Dave awesome interview. Cant wait for the full version.

[lwentz]
