Jim Allchin used to run the Platform division of Microsoft, the division of Microsoft that makes Windows. He very suddenly retired in 2007 - on the very day that Vista was released.

He’s been low on the radar since then, until now. He has apparently released an album of adult-contemporary guitar songs. Or something.

(@microsoft_cares asked a trivia question about him today, and I had read an article about him earlier today on Gizmodo, so I won a copy of Windows Server 2008. Thanks, Jim!)
