Ok, that's reaching.

TW,

Somehow I think re-architecting the core of the product is more important than addressing Paint, Notepad, Solitaire (which got a redesign for Vista anyway), or Defrag (which Microsoft does not own, and is licensed from the Diskeeper corporation) .

Microsoft doesn't publish how many architects they use on Windows. They just publish the ones that are the most famous, such as Mark Russinovich, David Cutler, and Bryce Cogswell (who is still at MS from what I understand).

How many architects does Microsoft use on Windows? And what happened to Bruce Cogwell?
