 Charles Babbage Institute: RESEARCH PROGRAM> Current research   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In 1972, PARC’s Butler Lampson argued that the prototype Xerox Alto, the first personal computer developed at PARC, needed a text editor in order to demonstrate the full potential of the 16-bit Alto.
The team assigned to build upon Lampson’s idea for a word processor—soon dubbed Bravo—added on-screen features like instant italicizing and fonts of all sizes and shapes which were bitmapped onto the Alto’s raster graphics display.

 PC World - Tech Pioneers Preview the Future
Bob Taylor, Alan Kay, Charles "Chuck" Thacker, and Butler Lampson were recently honored for their groundbreaking research at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in California 30 years ago.
A number of products are out (in fact, Lampson dictated his responses to PC World using voice input to Microsoft Word), but the technology is less effective when tasks are complex, such as correctly recognizing and responding to voice commands.
Lampson concurs: "Getting the computer to understand what you say to it and behave intelligently is an entirely different matter" from speech recognition.

 Microsoft's Lampson at Usenix: Write software that expects to fail!
In the case of persistent objects and RPCs (this latter technology being one that Lampson had a hand in moving forward), the architecture places too many requirements on widely scattered nodes that must continually maintain faithfulness to a particular technical structure.
Lampson’s comments may be viewed in the shadow of the swinging pendulum that is software.
At the same time, Lampson seems to describe the age-old notion that you cannot change the world, at least all at one time.

I asked Butler why it was that Longhorn (Vista's codename at the time) was not built out of a type-safe language like those available for the.NET framework.

 The Power of the Context (printable)
I remember Butler, in his first few weeks at PARC, arguing as only he could that he was tired of bubble-gummed !@#$%^and* fragile research systems that could barely be demoed by their creators.
A beautiful finesse was Butler's and Charles Simonyi's approach to the text editor BRAVO (the direct precursor to MS Word).
Instead Metcalfe's and Boggs' Ethernet (codesigned by Lampson and Thacker) was set up for errors-as-normal but could always eventually send the messages perfectly, even under extreme conditions.

 Microsoft's Gates outlines Windows "trust ecosystem" | TG Daily   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
In computing architecture, a state of trust exists between two processes once the identity of each has been authenticated to the other, by means of a mutually trusted third process.
The person most responsible for implementing the concept of "chains of trust" - where these third processes become authenticated by fourth and fifth processes, and so on, toward a root of greatest reliability - is Butler Lampson, now a Microsoft Research engineer whom Gates personally credited during his speech.
Up until recently, Microsoft Windows architecture was based around a concept where processes that had officially registered themselves, passed their identity to a collective System Registry, which could always be presumed to be trustworthy.
