Windows 8? Microsoft already hiring
Microsoft is looking for new talent to help develop the next version of Windows--version 8: "Are you a talented SDE/T Lead looking for the next
technical challenge on a key operating system component? Are you passionate about distributed systems, networking, file systems and want to be the
leader of a cutting edge project? Are you looking for a team with abundant opportunities to grow? If so, we have the position for you!" Although the
Silicon Valley Insider notes that the name "Windows 8" may be a "typo", it is certainly good news for Windows fans that Microsoft is thinking well
beyond Windows 7, due to drop this year.

21.04.2009Pat Brenner: New Updates to MFC in Visual Studio 2008
The VC++ team has made a committment to innovating, in a native context, both the language and associated libraries. The focus of the group is
squarely on making VC++ a great language for native Windows development. In Visual Studio 2008, C++ developers will get a MFC library that contains
twice the functionality of previous versions.
Here, we meet Pat Brenner. Pat is a Senior SDE on the VC++ libraries team and has
implemented many of the improvements to MFC in VS 2008. He's also been at Microsoft for quite some time: 19.5 years!
Tune in and
learn about some of the exciting new features of MFC 2008.

09.11.2007Engineering Windows 7: Windows Desktop Search
Steven Sinofsky: One of the points of feedback has been about disabling services and optionally installing componentsweve talked about our goals in
this area in previous posts. A key driver around wanting this type of control (but not the only driver) is a perception around performance and
resource consumption of various platform components. A goal of Windows is to provide a reliable and consistent platform for developersone where they
can count on system services as being available, as well as a set of OS features that all customers have the potential to benefit from. At the same
time we must do so in a way that is efficient in system resource usageefficient enough so the benefit outweighs the cost. We recognize that some
percentage of customers believe solving this equation can only be done manuallymuch like some believe that the best car performance can only come from
manual transmission. For this post were going to look into the desktop search functionality from the perspective of the work were doing as both a
broadly available platform component and to provide the rich end-user functionality, and also look at the engineering tradeoffs involved and
techniques we use to build a great solution for everyone. Chris McConnell, a principal SDE on the Find and Organize team, contributed this post.
