	Legal Documents
		Avie Tevanian incorrectly asserted at several points that the "streaming" capability in Microsoft’s products—which he wrongly defined to include progressive downloading—requires the use of "proprietary" and "undocumented" protocols.
		Avie Tevanian’s testimony is based on misinformation, a mischaracterization of the way technical issues arise in software development and normally are addressed, and an inadequate investigation into the bases for his inflammatory accusations.
		Significantly, Avie Tevanian’s assertion in paragraph 133 of his written direct testimony that purported pressure from Microsoft against Avid "obviously succeeded" in inducing Avid to promote AAF is wrong for at least two reasons.

		But Tevanian is taking on leadership of a group that crumbled under the weight of internal conflicts and the departures of key engineers to other companies and eventually had its OS development project killed off by Hancock.
		Tevanian will be laboring against this negative history, and he will have to get groups of engineers from two different companies to work cooperatively, a challenging task under any circumstances.
		Tevanian and Hancock say the new Mac OS will be based largely on the NextStep OS with features of the Mac OS to be rolled in over time.

	Daring Fireball: The Good, the Bad, and the Avie
		Last Tuesday, Apple announced that Avie Tevanian was taking on the new title of “chief software technology officer”, and that taking his place as senior vice president of software engineering would be Bertrand Serlet.
		And while Tevanian and his fellow expatriates from Next surely spent the majority of their own time and effort working on Mac OS X, Tevanian was still ultimately responsible for shipping Mac OS 8-9, and deserves acclaim for the success.
		Tevanian’s legacy is marred, however, by Mac OS X’s usability flaws, most of which are attributable to Tevanian’s nearly unyielding obsession with promoting old Next technology over old Apple technology.

		Avadis "Avie" Tevanian started his professional career at Carnegie Mellon University, where he was a principal designer and engineer of the Mach operating system.
		Tevanian: Of my choices for grad school I found Carnegie Mellon to be the most down to earth, which I valued, but I also found the work at CMU to be very applied in nature, and that appealed to me.
		Tevanian: Classes were not a large part of my CMU experience and I was happy to have it that way.

	Computerworld > MS/DOJ: Apple says MS made threats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Avie Tevanian, senior VP of software engineering at Apple, also says Microsoft made changes to Windows that sabotaged Apple's QuickTime software, so "users were left with the false impression that QuickTime was not functioning properly when, in reality, Microsoft never allowed QuickTime the chance."
		Tevanian said Apple has consistently refused Microsoft's proposals, including the most recent one in June 1998, one month after the US Department of Justice and 20 state attorneys general filed the antitrust lawsuit.
		Tevanian said Microsoft Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Gates became very upset when he learned that Netscape Navigator would be the default browser in Mac OS 8.0, released in August last year.

	NY Post Reports That Avie Tevanian Will Be Leaving Apple \|\| The Mac Observer
		Avie Tevanian is officially Apple's Senior Vice President of Software Engineering, but what that means is that he has been the brains behind Mac OS X since it was known as NeXTStep.
		Avie Tevanian, a longtime buddy, colleague and sometimes punching bag for Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs, is looking to leave the company, according to some in the know about what's going on at Apple.
		Tevanian should it be true (there is information on the search for his replacement in the Post article), it will be a drag to see the father of Mac OS X leave Apple.

		Tevanian, who was not at the meeting, said Microsoft officials suggested that Apple abandon its business of providing "playback" software that enables users to view multimedia content on the computers.
		Tevanian testified that Apple had studied the idea of integrating a browser into its operating system but abandoned the notion.
		Tevanian said Apple rejected an integrated browser because it caused "confusion" for users and that there were "often simpler ways of accomplishing things." But isn't there a benefit to the consumer from integration, the judge asked.

		Tevanian: It's not clear to me the 17[-inch] is for everybody, but clearly there's the hardcore creative market, [which] is a very valid market.
		Tevanian: I think you're right in the sense that many of the things that we do, even if we don't do them explicitly for the enterprise, are very applicable to enterprise.

	DOJ/Antitrust
		There is no reason for Microsoft to wait until the last minute to file such motions, and their doing so imposes significant burdens on plaintiffs to respond in a very short time and on the Court to address the motions in a very limited time.
		Microsoft has previously acknowledged that because of the limits the court has placed on the number of witnesses the parties may present, testifying witnesses should be given some latitude to report information obtained from other people in their companies.
		Thus, Dr. Tevanian's lack of training in economics and antitrust law--to which Microsoft repeatedly refers in its brief--is relevant, if at all, only to the weight of his testimony, not to its admissibility.

		Prior to his position at Apple, Tevanian was vice president of engineering at NeXT -- the computer company that Apple CEO Steve Jobs founded between stints running Apple.
		Jobs called Tevanian's appointment as chief software technology officer "a seamless handoff," noting that with Panther "in great shape," now is "a good time to let Avie return to a more hands-on technical role and to promote Bertrand to lead our entire OS software engineering team."

		While Microsoft scored early by getting Tevanian to admit to some inaccuracies in his written testimony, the Apple exec stuck to his guns about his core assertions.
		Tevanian said Apple pulled the plug on Rhapsody when software developers refused to rewrite Mac applications for Rhapsody because Apple would never sell enough of its new operating system in a Windows-dominated market.
		Tevanian stuck to his view that Microsoft sees QuickTime as a threat because the Apple software does not depend on a specific operating system to run it, and this type of software could render Windows obsolete.

		Apple's first rule about OS X (read "Oh-S-Ten"): don't talk about who's responsible for OS X. The Cupertino, Calif., computermaker is adamant that no one person should take the credit for the company's greatest leap forward since the original Macintosh.
		Their second rule is that OS X must be regarded as the finest operating system ever created — a crash-free, easy-to-use, Windows-crushing thing of beauty.
		So it seems that Tevanian — er, Apple — has created the near impossible: a super-friendly environment for computerphobics built on supergeeky foundations.
