InternetNews | at | by Mike

Since its founding in 1991, Microsoft Research has produced a number of technologies that have gone on to find their way into key products for the company. Today at Microsoft's Professional Developer's Conference, the group used the event's final keynote to show what might be ahead in future offerings.

While Microsoft Research has played a role in developing everything from Microsoft Windows 95 to Xbox Live, the group's head, Rick Rashid, has his own notable legacy, having developed the Mach microkernel back in the 1980s.
