WHS Pioneer Leaving Microsoft
Windows Home Server pioneer Charlie Kindel today announced that he will be leaving Microsoft after 21 years.
Charlie originally joined Microsoft in 1990 in developer support for systems products and later in 1999 thought of the Windows Home Server concept which originally started as the Quattro project 5 years later. Charlie finally started the Windows Home Server product group in April 2005, bringing a Home Server product to the masses when he became the Windows Home Server Product Unit Manager (PUM) until February 2009, when he switched to Windows Phone.
In his blog post Charlie says he is planning to build a new company based in Seattle to do with sports, advertising, mobile, social-networking, and, of course, the cloud after he leaves Microsoft on September 2nd.
From all of us here at MSWHS.com we wish Charlie all the best in his new venture.
