==Microsoft (1988 – present)==

=== Microsoft Windows NT ===
Cutler left DEC for Microsoft in October 1988 and led the development of Windows NT. Later, he worked on targeting Windows NT to DEC's 64-bit [[DEC Alpha|Alpha]] architecture then on [[Windows 2000]]. After the demise of Windows on Alpha (and the demise of DEC), he was instrumental in porting Windows to AMD's new 64-bit [[AMD64]] architecture. He was involved with the [[Windows XP]] Pro x64 and [[Windows Server]] 2003 SP1 x64 releases. He moved to working on Microsoft's Live Platform in August 2006. Cutler was awarded the prestigious status of Senior Technical Fellow at Microsoft.

=== Microsoft Windows Azure ===
At the 2008 [[Professional Developers Conference]], Microsoft announced [[Azure Services Platform]], a [[cloud computing|cloud-based]] [[operating system]] which Microsoft is developing. During the conference keynote, Cutler was mentioned as a lead developer on the project, along with Amitabh Srivastava.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/ozzie/10-27PDC08dayone.mspx |title=Professional Developers Conference 2008 Day 1 Keynote: Ray Ozzie, Amitabh Srivastava, Bob Muglia, Dave Thompson |date=27 October 2008 |publisher=Microsoft, USA |access-date=29 October 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081101225550/http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/ozzie/10-27PDC08dayone.mspx |archive-date=2008-11-01}}</ref>
