Mark Lucovsky is pretty legendary! Every Windows exe starts with the two bytes ML!

EDIT: As others pointed out its actually another Mark, MZ. Lucovsky was the Mark, who Steve Ballmer was throwing chairs around when he said to leave for Google. Still legendary. :)

Ah, thanks for correcting. Microsoft always had too many Marks, Russinovich is another famous one.
