“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…'”
