REDMOND, Wash. – May 1, 2012 – Kirill Tatarinov made a promise to himself in 2002. He had just left a job and was considering his next move, which probably would mean forming a start-up. After 16 years in the computing industry, he vowed never again to work for a large corporation. And he definitely needed a break from building software for enterprise IT management.

Hello everyone, my name is Gavin Gear, and I am going to be blogging regularly here on the Extreme Windows Blog. My background includes working on the Windows sensor team (see recent talks from BUILD HERE), and before Microsoft I graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

I look forward to bringing you stories where Windows powers extreme experiences, and to start I thought I’d do a quick Kinect for Windows project. Here we go!

Some questions, and answers about Surface One of my favorite people to chat with at Microsoft is Steven Bathiche. I’ve written about “StevieB” and his work on this blog many times before and whenever I meet with him, I’m guaranteed to walk away smarter. He knows a lot about a lot and has a way of explaining complex technology in a simple way and usually with a sparkle in his eye. You can see what I mean in this video when I took Josh Topolsky in to Stevie’s lab.During a Reddit Ask Me Almost Anything (AMAA) chat yesterday, Stevie joined Panos Panay and other members of the Surface team
