Italia 9: Mauro Ottaviani e Performance

Microsoft Research Cambridge turned 10 years old this week. Happy birthday MSRC! I was lucky enough to have been there (in fact I am still there, or is that here, as I type) and
conducted several interviews with some of the many unusually intelligent and passionate folks who think about the future of computing and the role computation plays in every aspect of our lives (from new interactive devices that promise to make the business
of home life more interesting and less stressful, tools and methodologies that will help Microsoft quickly respond to industry changes (can you say many core?) to understanding, via accurate modeling, incredibly complex biological and ecological systems)
In this interview, I sit down with the fearless leader of Microsoft Research (he started MSR, actually),
Rick Rashid, Senior Vice President and computer scientist (he's a famous OS guy (you'll meet another one in a subsequent interview)). We talk about the role MSR plays in Microsoft's strategic
vision, what's expected of MSR scientists, what attracts academics to industry, the state of operating system research and more. Enjoy.

Good interview.
Very clear and informative Rick. Thank you.
Hakime, you might want to edit Mach-related article on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_kernel), so it would be consistent with your point of view. As of 5 minutes ago it read '..The lead
developer on the Mach project,
Richard Rashid, [ship]... Another of the original Mach developers,
Avie Tevanian, ...'.
Also, are you positive that you are not looking at the name of person who made code merge into the branch that was used to build OSX?
