It was the standard at the time, though. Rational Rose for UML, RequisitePro for requirements, ClearQuest for bugs/CM, ClearCase for configuration management... they had a monopoly during the late 90s and early 2000s if you were in engineering, oil, or finance.

What are you more proud of... managing to nab Cutler to lead NT development circa 88-89, or orchestrating the relatively seamless app transition from Windows 3.1 to 95?

I think both played a crucial role in Microsoft's success, but for very different reasons. It'd be interesting to hear your take.
