David Treadwell recently joined the Windows Live Core effort where he will work on defining and implementing the next-generation Live services platform. This start-up effort will define the vision and create the implementation for cloud-based platform services that will allow the creation of compelling applications that make deep use of network-based information.

In this role, Treadwell oversaw the successful releases of the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1 releases now used by 56 percent of enterprises.
Prior to his work on .NET, Treadwell was a developer for file server and TCP/IP technologies Windows NT, the development manager for Internet Information Server, and he played an important role in the establishment of Microsoft's .NET Framework strategy for developers. Treadwell graduated from Princeton University in 1989 with a BSE in Electrical Engineering and joined Microsoft in July 1989.
