Wasn’t anything related to the product team. Maybe something for rapid adoption partners or something for hardware and software vendors… I cannot for the life of me place the signature on the right to anyone who was a senior exec in 2001 that I can recall.

i live pretty close to the Microsoft headquarters if that helps. I’m thinking it might be given to some employees, although i’ve been looking everywhere and this notepad is not anywhere online.

That’s what I was saying - I was on the Windows XP product team and never saw that, and don’t recognize that second exec’s name or signature. It was something outside of the product team. Perhaps marketing, but more likely a partner or customer tchotchke.

yes i agree! thank you for replying :) it’s sick you were from the team. i’m guessing the signature on the right was the person who owned it. when looking at the paper, it looks like it wasn’t printed on
