FHP - part 1

I thought you might like to know where "System Software" for FHP in _The Soul of a New Machine_ ended up.

You might remember FHP was the North Carolina based Data General project that was the competition for the system I worked on. FHP was the project that remained 18 months from delivery for its entire lifetime.

"System Software" for FHP was Craig Mundie who is now the Chief Research and Strategy Officer for Microsoft. He has been with Microsoft since 1992. See:

I guess being responsible for a project that never ships isn't a career death sentence!
