~~Fun fact, he left Microsoft before the release of Windows 3.~~

I think that must not be right. In this interview, he says that he went around showing Doom to everyone at MS, and he hints that he didn't leave Microsoft until about 1996.

Also checked Wikipedia and it says "Newell spent 13 years at Microsoft as the producer of the first three releases of the Windows operating systems." and he stayed at MS until found Valve which is indeed 1996. I guess that was some kind of a joke?
