Windows 8 News

Microsoft’s Cambridge Research Laboratories are working on how to structure Future Operating Systems like Windows 8 for future multi-core and many-core systems. The Barrelfish team are currently working on two trends: the rapidly growing number of cores and diversity in computer hardware. With our previous post, this could be an area of study for the 128 bit operating systems as future of innovation.

They are seeking fresh talent with cutting edge knowledge of mathematic, computer science, computational science, and social sciences. Full-time positions are available HERE. Microsoft Research offers you the chance to be on the forefront of computer science research and technology development by working on prototypes and future Microsoft Products.

In my endless search for tiny details hidden behind the scenes at Microsoft via linkedin, I came across a Microsoft Senior Research & Development employee: Mr. Morgan. I guess Microsoft employees need some training about exposing company secrets! He posted a few updates in the last 3 days to his linkedin profile that I find extremely interesting:

“Robert Morgan is working to get IA-128 working backwards with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”

“Robert Morgan is using Hestia (custom software package) for experimenting with the processor for scientific analysis and 3D graphics. Error: Memory Latency? Always gotta be a challenge barrier, it’s gotta be a bug in Hestia. right?!”

“Robert Morgan is frustrated with process standards and regulations! Delays Delays!”

I added Mr. Morgan to my LinkedIn friends list, but he has not responded to any messages I sent to him. WOW what a find: WINDOWS 8 128 BIT! That’s Insane!!!! Didn’t we just get x64 less than 5 years ago? But, let’s face it we are in a recession; the next big products won’t be released until companies are ready to take a risk, but based on this they are far ahead of where we are today in the lab. Stay Tuned, I’ll try to find more, but I don’t think I can top this, Windows 8 x128 is a big deal
