jenk... according to PC Magazine. Of these, I worked on:
Windows Update. #6 on the list. My involvement is more periphery: the IE 5 setup program was used as the initial "guts" of Windows Update; I was IE 5 setup test manager. (Which made integrating IE 5 into a Windows Update deliverable a bit weird at times. But easier than integrating IE 5 setup into Office 2000 and Windows 2000 ... )
Explorer. #11 on the list; I'd put it lower, but that's me. My involvement: IE 4 shell test lead, which included the HTML-ized version.
Active Desktop. #14 on the list; I'd put it higher. My involvement: IE 4 shell test lead, which included Active Desktop. (And what is Vista's Gadgets, if not AD under a new name?)
DriveSpace. #20 on the list; I'd put it lower. My involvement: Helped test DoubleSpace/DriveSpace in MS-DOS 6, 6.2, 6.21, 6.22, Windows 95, and Windows 95 Plus!, where "help" means "I don't own the area, but I keep getting dragged into it anyway."
