It means ms windows; ms's founder is unlikely to write to Keith.

Some processes that run in the background make it slower than it
needs to be. Years ago I measured the effect of killing various
unneeded processes, and found that the msw "indexing service"
made C++ builds run half as fast as they would without it, on
a typical computer in my office. Malware-detection software
impairs speed significantly, too.
