Watch Andrew Herbert, managing director of Microsoft Research Cambridge, discuss the 20th century computer systems assumptions that are no longer true in the 21st century — things like the single processor systems and the single threaded programs, low level programming languages, screens on desks, hierarchical file systems, and virtual memory. This video also showcases a number of exciting new technologies that have been developed at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Researchers who participated in the video include Steve Hodges and Simon Peyton Jones.
