Dave Cutler's generation was raised writing code on machines with tiny memories. That discipline makes you code economically. It's a state of mind that never leaves you.
I met Dave at a Mill event in the early 1980s - he was genuinely interested in what our clients were doing with VMS in Australia. Its hard to grasp the passion of people like this. Thank you CHM.
Thank you for VMS and NT. I was sixteen when I saw my first 11/780 which later became a part of my professional life, six years later.. VAX 11/780 and later a MicroVax 4000 VMS for data reduction in a scientific role and later NT in a commercial environment. I still run a VMS system with a Hobbyist License from HP on 10 Core 20 Thread system with Windows 10 machine using SIMH. Thanks Dave for making this all possible.... Also in the mid 90's I worked for Microsoft Australia Supporting VBA, VB and Access Professional Users.
guys like this are the real stars, actors have no clue heh i'd like to see an interview with Tom Miller from MS also, he wrote alot of the Windows cache system which is super complex and helps us all alot!
Does that mean the new Xbox will brick itself when one of my kids stuff something into the optical drive and I try to repair it? This is nuts, cancelled plans to buy one.

AMD reaching out to Cutler with their 64-bit extensions was genius.

Same feelings here. My professional life has been many PDP11, then VAXen and of course Windows NT-family.
he was correct when he said server 2000 was solid. having been running it in production servers for now more then 20 years still rock solid
We need more interviews like this.

National treasure Dave is! Wish I could meet him one day...
Thanks for sharing the transcript. It was really helpful.
We're lucky to have NT. I didn't know the world was gonna go like this but NT is the only non UNIX alternative out there.
52:00 he starts talking Azure and Xbox
There is so much I would ask Dave if I had some of his time. My god.
43:36 “ARM is not anywhere near the performance capability of the x86 stuff…” 😁😁😁
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
"..which continued with Windows Millenium, which I believe was in 2000." Spoken like a true programmer.
43:00 His take on RISC didn’t age very well, huh
Skipped NT 3.5 and NT 3.51?
48:40 DOGGO
Haha, it's a cat?
16:56 same here. Work. Why can't you work like a normal machine?!
Interesting for him to ignore iOS when discussing operating systems. I guess he was thinking of open systems.
No, he was thinking of real operating systems......
