When we went over to London for vacation this summer we took our camcorders and got a tour of Microsoft's research center in Cambridge, England.

Here's who you'll see:

Mitch Goldberg, Senior Programme Manager
14:00 Richard Black, Researcher, talks about networking research that will show up in Windows Vista.
26:40 Ralf Herbrich and Thore Graepel Xbox Research. These guys play games as part of their research. How fun!
41:20 Peter Key, Senior Research, gives us a tour, talking about what kinds of research is being done. We also compare Oxford to Cambridge (Peter went to Oxford).
46:13 Ken Wood. He runs the computer mediated living group. They have sociologists and psychologists looking at the human side of computers.
58:66 we meet the rest of Ken's team.
01:06:20 Natasa Milic-Frayling, integrated systems research. Lots of interesting research in user interaction and how people use software to use the Internet. She gives an interesting demo of information browsing improvements at 1:13:00.
01:17:33 Steve Hodges. Hardware researchers. This guy has tons of cool hardware in his lab.

Any chance on the missing part from the network discovery demonstration getting added? (It cuts right after he logs in).

That was brilliant, but Microsoft needs to work on it's time to market because some of this stuff is cool NOW. Shame we won't see it for a LONG time.
