Mark Zbikowski - From DOS 1.0 to Windows Vista

Posted By: Charles | May 17th, 2006 @ 11:43 AM

This is Behind the Code’s pilot episode with Core File Services architect, Mark Zbikowski. Mark began his career at Microsoft in 1981, working on DOS 1.0 as a designer, coder and liaison with IBM. His quarter century long career has included significant involvement in OS/2, Cairo’s Object File System (OFS), and the NT File System (NTFS). In addition, he has been a key player in all of Microsoft’s File System work. Former Microsoft software architect Pat Helland interviews Mark about the early days at Microsoft, his passion for product development and the challenges of producing software.

Oh !*&%@@$ another video that I want to watch but cant download. I was hoping to stock up ready for a long train ride!
Come on time to kick some butt.
Charles (or is it Chazz) who should we nag to get this working?

Use FlashGet: Right click on the "Full screen" button. Click on "Download using FlashGet" and have fun (tested in IE). Downloads wonderful.

And I guess Charles won't mind, if we download the video.

I'm going to watch this video while traveling home tomorrow. I have been watching another Behind the Code with Andrews Heijlsberg a few months ago. That was very nice and interesting. Let's see how this is.

Ever wonder why the fiirst two bytes in a .exe are 'MZ' in ASCII.

Mark worked on the DOS loader and this legacy lives on in Portable Executable images today!

Channel 9 :)

Wow this guy is crazy smart.

From Ballmer's comments of "October 2004" I'm surprised that it took 2 years to get this out.

Are these "Behind the Code" videos made for internal consumption and only now are being for public consumption?

Great show and a great guy as well. These kind of shows really motivate me. Will more of these "Behind the Code" shows be released on ch.9?
