Are you sure? I thought Lamport has been at Microsoft Research since forever.

  Ah the vagaries of the human memory.

  You're correct. Lamport has joined MSR in 2001 right after publishing "Time, Clocks, and the Ordering of Events in a Distributed System" and has been there ever since. I am not sure if he is still at the MV office but he was one of the reasons why MSR kept a presence in MV for a while.

    Actually "Time, Clocks..." is a paper from the late 70s. Maybe you were thinking of the Paxos paper, "The Part-Time Parliament" (1998)?

      Yeah, copy-pasted the wrong title and by the time I noticed, it was too late to edit. :)
