Okay, I haven't found any confirmation of that quote, but since Mr Allchin has officially retired from Microsoft as of January 30 (Vista's debut), he is no longer a Microsoft employee and therefore free to indulge his impulse.
Boy, to go down as the man who gave birth to Vista and Windows Live... I'm not sure what to make of that as a legacy.

Noteworthy is a quote from his E-mail, wherein his fear of Linux is expressed as well.
"I must tell you everything in my soul tells me that we should do what I called plan (b) yesterday. We need a simple fast storage system. LH [Longhorn] is a pig and I don't see any solution to this problem. If we are to rise to the challenge of Linux and Apple, we need to start taking the lessons of 'scenario, simple, fast' to heart. Jim"
Yes, the same EPO that routinely uses "data protection" and "GDPR" as a pretext for hiding or covering up its corruption and white-collar crimes (it even uses that as an excuse for refusing to obey courts' orders)
