From Zero to Fifty in Two Years: An Update on Microsoft Rese

February 12, 2007
Perhaps it is not considered very fast in the automobile market... but as research labs go, I think we are doing well. Starting in Jan 2005, we have grown to about 50 people now and our V6 high horsepower engine firing at high RPM in six different research areas: Technology for emerging markets, Multilingual Systems, Digital Geographics, Rigorous Software Engineering, Cryptography, Security, and Algorithms, and Mobility, Networks and Systems. Not to mention a lively transmission system called the Advanced Development and Prototyping team that is actively working closely with many MS product teams on technology transfer and on prototyping cool innovative ideas. And a jazzy External Research and Program effort that has all our academic partners excited. It's all muscle, chrome, and speed!
