"BTL posted a 'highlight' of an interesting interview that Mary Jo Foley did with Iain McDonald, director of project management for Windows Server.
"In the interview, McDonald describes 'Windows 2000' as the worst-run project of all time. McDonald says that 'stupid decisions' and '7-day weeks for 30 weeks in a row' helped the Windows 2000 project earn that title. Keep in mind that McDonald's statement is from a project management standpoint, and we shouldn't equate it to 'Windows 2000 was the worst product of all time...'"
