    Windows 8 Faster, Smaller, and More Responsive than Win


    Posted: 10 Apr 2010
    Are you passionate about software performance? Are you excited by the potential to have a positive impact on hundreds of millions of users, by improving their Windows experience? The Windows Fundamentals Performance Test Team is look for a software design engineer who can help us do just that – make future releases of Windows faster, smaller, and more responsive than Windows 7. OS Fundamentals, and specifically performance were a major area of focus during Windows 7 and will be just as important if not more so, during the development of the next version(s).
    We have built a mature performance testing infrastructure to analyze the behavior of the operating system under different tests and workloads, and detect performance bugs, and opportunities to improve performance. And now, we want to take that to the next level. Our role as a team is two-fold in that we are not only improving and enhancing our current infrastructure and test coverage, but we also provide technical leadership and guidance to partner teams to help them improve the performance testing and analysis of their own individual components. We are looking for an SDET that excel in both of those areas.

    I don't even want to think about Windows 8 at this point. Windows 7 hit the sweet spot.

    Ditto. I used XP from 2001 till late 2009. I love Windows 7 and I don't want a new OS till 2013 or so. Let me have fun with this version.......

    Just fix the few odds and ends in Win7. Forget about a Win 8 for at least 2 more years. For once, get it right! I don't need a new windows every 2 years. Just update/fix/streamline what you have. Learn how to code!!!! I'm tired of seeing code written by some wet-behind-the-ears bright college grad who just got out of training pants. Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen, Listen.

    As for the job itself, if you wanted a chance - contact that chap that recently left the Midori team after 11 or so months - find out what direction he wanted to take and then offer the opposite in your resume
