The last line in the article I found intriguing: 16 billion spent on R&D?
That's a lot... What are they so actively researching?
- jongalloway2 7y agoThere's a pretty good overview of the research areas here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/ There's also a Microsoft Research podcast with interviews here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/category/podcast/ https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/blog/category/podca... A lot of stuff you'd expect like AI, ML, HCI, cloud computing, security, but also stuff like acoustics, social media impacts of computing, biology and medicine, etc.
- shmed 7y agoR&D is not just "research", it's also "development". All money spent on engineering work count toward that 16 billion.
