I'm your creativity creator™ :)
I'd like to work on something which exposes ALL settings for Windows in some kind of accessible and neat UI.
I really like settings, so I'd stand up for incorporating even more of them. -

I'd really encourage you to apply for an internship at MSR before you complete your PhD. Summer internships are a great way to get in the door and work on incredibly interesting projects going on in MSR (not to mention learning from and working with some of the best minds in computer science...).

Although that sounds like a very interesting idea, it's rather unlikely to be possible considering the terms of my scholarship. -

Hmmm.... this is a big one...
in a way I'd like to work in many parts of MSFT
a lot of my skills over time have been in SQL server so that's one
but also .net and many other things.
some of the time I wish I could just be the 800 pound gorrilla bashing some stuff around to get things moving...
but most of the time I'd rather be hip-deep in solving a problem.
in some ways I'd take balmers "developers, developers...."
and turn it into "Get focused...." so many things MSFT is working on that seem at times so spread around... -
be a server monkey
oh wait im one already 
balancing loads for high traffic sites is my passion -

I would like to work with Joe Duffy, Don Box, and Doug Purdy in general (and Anders of course), and Cultler. Heck, I could just go on and on. btw, Don and Doug are working on some new language thing :

Take a hammer to the RAID arrays and backup tapes that host the Windows source code. Maybe they'll start over that time.

That would be a challenge. The bar is pretty high you have to admit. -

Hey Charles, I turned 18 last Friday. Does that make me eligible for an internship at MS?
