Behind the Mojave Experiment: Paul Thurrott’s Interview with David Webster

ITPro Today’s Windows archive lists an interview by Paul Thurrott with David Webster titled “Behind the Mojave Experiment, An Interview with David Webster.” The archive displays October 6, 2010, but the available record does not establish that as the interview’s original publication date or reveal what Webster said in the full interview.

What the archive record establishes

The ITPro Today Windows archive identifies Paul Thurrott as the interviewer, David Webster as the interview subject, and displays a date of October 6, 2010, alongside a 13-minute read time. Those details describe the archive listing; they do not independently verify when the interview first appeared.

The displayed date is later than a separate Mojave Experiment reference from September 2008. The available sources do not explain whether the 2010 date reflects republication, an archive migration, or the original publication.

What the September 2008 reference adds

A September 12, 2008 Techmeme entry quotes a Windows Vista Team Blog post by Chris Flores, written on behalf of colleague David Webster. The excerpt says Webster’s earlier post provided context on the Mojave Experiment. This connects Webster to Microsoft campaign-context commentary at the time, but it is not the interview itself.

What cannot be concluded from these records

The archive listing and short 2008 excerpt do not establish the experiment’s setup, questions, participants, results, or effectiveness. They also do not show Webster’s precise role in conducting or designing it. Without the full interview text, none of those details can responsibly be attributed to Webster as interview claims.

No substantive verbatim statement by Webster about the experiment is available in these records. The short excerpt is contextual and does not provide a basis for quoting his account of the experiment.

How to read the title and date

The title is evidenced as an archive listing, not as proof that the interview’s detailed account is available in the archived record. Likewise, October 6, 2010 should be treated as the date displayed by ITPro Today, not a confirmed original publication date. The September 2008 reference establishes an earlier related commentary, but does not resolve the discrepancy.
