      Wow really? This may explain why valve likes Linux so much (at least in part, it’s an untapped market, 10 other reasons etc)

        Fun fact, he left Microsoft before the release of Windows 3.

            Also checked Wikipedia and it says “Newell spent 13 years at Microsoft as the producer of the first three releases of the Windows operating systems.” and he stayed at MS until found Valve which is indeed 1996. I guess that was some kind of a joke?
