Microsoft: Research helps protect our future
eWeek | at | by Mike
The reason Microsoft Research exists is so that Microsoft will still be here in 15 years time, Rick Rashid, the senior vice president of research, said here on Sept. 26.
"I hope that fifteen years from now there will still be the same vibrant environment we have now, where we have been able to build a stable research environment. If we can do this for the next 15 years the sky is the limit. I get surprised every morning by the research that is taking place," he said, talking at an event to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Microsoft Research at the Redmond campus.
