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.
