I can list some. The Xen paper was done between Cambridge and MSR Cambridge.

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/dryad/ is fucking cool if you're familiar with MapReduce.
There are a handful of IPDPS papers I also know of but can't grab because I'm off campus and my VPN to Northwestern is acting wonky.

Thank you. Those are very interesting reads. It's been a long time since I played with really cutting-edge OS concepts and virtualization has never been my main interest (I was into hardware during college).
Seriously though, some of the biggest operating systems (my research area, OS virtualization in specific) advances have come out of Microsoft Research and Windows kernel development.
