   That and apparently he was the lead or primary or something for the Windows   
   Task Manager. Wikipedia lists a few more   
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Plummer   
      
   He was also founded SoftwareOnline LLC after leaving Microsoft so was involved   
   that whole scandal.   
      
   I don't think it qualifies as a "rescue"  He got the RA82 from Mitch at   
   Keyways so it's not likely it was about to be scrapped or anything.
