26.01.2006Mark Russinovich: Inside Windows 7
How has Windows evolved, as a general purpose operating system and at the lowest levels, in Windows 7? Who better to talk to than Technical Fellow and
Windows Kernel guru
Mark Russinovich? Here, Mark enlightens us
on the new kernel constructs in Windows 7 (and, yeah, we do wonder up into user mode, but only briefly). One very important change in Windows 7 kernel
is the dismantling of the Spin Lock Dispatcher and redesign and implementation of its functionality into separate components. This work was done by
Arun Kishan (
you've met him
here on C9 last year). The direct result of this great work is that Windows 7 can scale to 256 processors and enabled the great Landy Wang to tune
Windows Memory manager to be even more efficient than it already is. Tune in. This is a great conversation (if you're into operating systems). It's
always great to chat with Mark.

21.12.2005Mark Russinovich: On Working at MS, Server 2008 Kernel, MinWin vs ServerCore, HyperV and more
Charles Torre: I recently sat down with Technical Fellow Mark Russinovich to dig a bit into what's new in the Windows Server 2008 kernel. Of course,
we talk about many things including HyperV, application virtualization, kernel architecture (not everybody defines an OS kernel in the same way - tune
in to understand why this is the case. Mark has his own definition that may not be the same as yours....).
Recently, the MinWin
project was in the press after a university video lecture by a Microsoft Windows architect was released on the net. Most people immediately confused
MinWin with Windows Server 2008's ServerCore technology - the confusion stems from the incorrect assumption that ServerCore is a byproduct of the
MinWin work. In fact, they are not at all related. Mark explains the differences and hopefully this will end the confusion...
Of
course, Mark spends time on the whiteboard in this interview, drawing out the kernel architecture, explaining HyperV, touching on application
virtualization (running client applications without having to install them locally - tune in to understand what I mean...).
