1983 kündigt Microsoft an, seinem altertümlichen Kommandozeilen-Betriebssystem DOS eine moderne, intuitiv bedienbare grafische Oberfläche zu verpassen. Sie soll dem PC neben Icons, Fenstern und Maussteuerung auch Multitasking sowie ein einheitliches Bedienkonzept bescheren – und so die Plattform in die Zukunft führen. Doch Windows bleibt in jeder Hinsicht hinter den Erwartungen zurück, vor allem aber hinter dem Zeitplan. Als es Ende 1985 endlich erscheint, verkauft es sich schleppend und muss überdies bestehen gegen einen mächtigen Gegner aus eigenem Hause, das »Betriebssystem der Neunzigerjahre« namens OS/2. Die Chancen für eine Fortsetzung stehen schlecht. Doch Windows überlebt nicht nur, es setzt sich durch – und führt mit Version 3.0 tatsächlich die Plattform in die Zukunft. Henner und Gunnar erzählen, wie Windows entstanden ist und wieso es den Durchbruch schaffte.

Ted Kahn, Atari Institute for Educational Action Research Ted Kahn was creator of the Atari Institute for Educational Action Research, which  awarded major grants of Atari home computer products, and consulting services to individuals, schools, and non-profit organizations. The group granted more than $1.25 million in products and services to about 100 innovative people and projects around the US and overseas. He also co-wrote the books Atari Games and Recreations, and Atari PILOT Activities and Games. This interview took place on October 9, 2015. In it, we discuss Ted's bother, Bob Kahn; and Tandy Trower, both of whom I have previously interviewed. Teaser quotes: "Its purpose is not just to give stuff away, but it's purpose is to really make sure that if it's given away, it's going to be given to people and organizations who can make some impact with it." "A thing, behind closed doors, in Washington, in which we had an entire group of Senators and Congressmen, for a period of about a day, to learn about all this stuff..."

Andrew Soderberg, Atari Product Manager Andrew Soderberg was a product manager at Atari from 1980 through August 1983. He oversaw projects including the XL line of computers, and De Re Atari. He was also production manager for several of Atari's TV commercials, one of which won a Clio award. He was a member of the team that build the first computer/laserdisc interactive kiosks for use in retail. In this interview we discuss Tandy Trower, whom I previously interviewed. This interview took place on November 18, 2015. Teaser quote: “So here I am, 21 years of age, in New York City, being put up in the junior suite of the Plaza, for a week. It’s all been downhill ever since!” Links: Andrew’s web site: https://about.me/AndrewSoderberg Conversational French commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXZN9o7qlWU

Tandy Trower, Atari product manager   Tandy Trower started at Atari evaluating software titles, then moved on to the position of product manager, managing new titles including Missile Command, Asteroids, and the port of Microsoft BASIC for the Atari. Then, he left Atari for Microsoft, where — once again, he managed Microsoft BASIC for the Atari. Tandy also wrote the Character Set Editor program which was sold by Atari Program Exchange.   This interview took place May 13, 2015.   Teaser quotes:   “The Atari executives were so impressed with Bill [Gates] at the time that they flew up in their corporate jet to Seattle and offered to try to acquire Microsoft. But Bill and Paul [Allen] were not interested in selling at all at that time.”   “If you had a title, you had to make sure there was an engineer who was available and interested in doing it. So if you couldn’t talk an engineer into writing it — unless you were going to write it yourself. Except for me, there were very few people in the marketing department that could write their own code.”

In today's episode we talk to Tandy Trower, a 26-year Microsoft veteran who is now the General Manager of the Microsoft Robotics Group. In this year's January edition of Scientific American, Bill Gates predicted a "Robot in Every Home" after having told Tandy Trower "to go on an extended fact-finding mission and to speak with people across the robotics community". As a result, Microsoft launched their "Robotics Studio" in 2006 without losing a split second. Tandy Trower tells what it's all about, why Microsoft is interested in robotics, if we'll ever see anything close to open source and if we are we really going towards a robot in every home.
