		Gordon Letwin (second row, right): The initial 1978 meeting between Gordon Letwin and his future employer, Bill Gates, was somewhat contentious, according to the biography Gates:
		As Bill Gates was attempting to correct this egregious error, he was introduced to a fl-haired gnome by the name of Gordon Letwin, who proceeded to chew him out in front of a group of about fifteen people.
		Among other projects, Gordon served as Microsoft's chief architect for the development of the infamous OS/2 operating system and stayed with the company longer than any of the other staffers pictured above (with the exception of Bill Gates himself), finally leaving in 1993 to escape the day-to-day tech bustle and enjoy life.

	BBC NEWS \| Politics \| Letwin attacks 'borrower' Brown
		Mr Letwin questioned whether Mr Brown was putting his reputation for economic prudence on the line by switching his inflation measures as part of a compromise with Tony Blair over the euro.
		For all his talk of reform, Mr Brown was "the biggest single obstacle to reform in Whitehall", Mr Letwin added.
		But Mr Brown accused Mr Letwin of being "obsessed" with the borrowing figures because his aim was to cut public spending, meaning cuts to schools and hospitals.

		Gordon Brown's promise to balance the books over the economic cycle, borrowing only to invest, is clearly a matter of enormous importance.

		Mr Letwin faced immediate claims that he was trying to slash key public services.

		Mr Letwin said: "I hope to be able to cut taxes in the early years.

	Re: Microsoft's founders
		Jim Lane was the first Seattle employee at Microsoft, Gordon Letwin was the last Albuquerque employee fwiw.
		Gordon Letwin's back in the Seattle area, he and Rose had a fireworks exhibition for Rose's birthday back in May, unfortunately I didn't attend (although other friends of mine did).
		I think the article understates Gordon's wealth, although it's possible he's given away more than I though - he built the first of the "Microsoft Mansions" back in 1987 with the money he made from Microsoft's IPO.

	OS/2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		While I agree OS/2 is a better operating system than Windows, this book depressed me due to Gordon's wrongheaded-belief that a GPF should always be considered an indicator of a programming problem.
		Strangely, Ed Iacobucci (who was Gordon Letwin's counterpart at IBM) wrote an article that appeared in a magazine that described OS/2's dynamic linking as operating the way it should.
		The key difference is this: in real dynamic linking, CALL instructions that are supposed to invoke procedures in a DLL are constructed in the executable image such that when the processor executes the CALL, it causes a GPF [pointer fault]; then the GPF handler looks at the faulting instruction.

		My development machine was by far the worst; I take this to mean that in spite of a lot of activity, the usage pattern on a server isn't worst case.

		William Letwin's thorough, carefully argued, and elegantly written work is the only book length study of the Sherman Antitrust Act, a law designed to shape the economic life of a large complex society through maintaining the "correct" level of competition in the economy.
		By examining the thought of four seminal thinkers, Shirley Robin Letwin provides a brilliant record of the gradual change in the English-speaking peoples' understanding of "what sort of activity politics is." As Letwin writes, "the distinctive political issue since the eighteenth century has been whether government should do more or less." This...

		The High Performance File System (hereafter HPFS), which is making its first appearance in the OS/2 operating system Version 1.2, had its genesis in the network division of Microsoft and was designed by Gordon Letwin, the chief architect of the OS/2 operating system.
		The HPFS has been designed to meet the demands of increasingly powerful PC's, fixed disks, and networks for many years to come and to serve as a suitable platform for object-oriented languages, applications, and user interfaces.
		But first, it puts the HPFS in perspective by reviewing some of the problems that led to the system's existence.
