[NeXT] Avie Tevanian

Tutto nasce dalla lettura di un articolo sul nytimes

che parla del collasso di Win su se stesso e di come Microsoft dovrebbe
seguire l'esempio di Apple (come se sapessero fare altro, rotfl). In
particolare mi ha colpito questo intervento di Avie Tevanian:

Avadis Tevanian, who worked on microkernel research as a Ph.D. student
at Carnegie-Mellon, then on the Next operating system, followed by nine
years at Apple where he oversaw the transition to Mac OS X, recalled how
the decision was made when Apple's market share was stuck at 3 percent
and the company was losing money. I asked Mr. Tevanian if he thought
Microsoft could pull off a similar switch.
"Perhaps, but I don't know if it has the intestinal fortitude," he said,
"At Apple, we had to. It was a matter of survival."

Mi ha colpito perchè mi ha incuriosito il lavoro che ha fatto alla
Carnegie Mellon, di cui non so assolutamente un cock. Qualcuno ha dei
link da suggerire, magari sul come è nato NeXT? :?
