- fastball 12y ago$1 seems cheap.
- doomrobo 12y agoThe processing is quite cheap for a company with its own datacenters and computation clusters. Not so cheap for an individual though. So a user could pay a dollar while Microsoft is only spending pennies.
- iLoch 12y agoI think fastball is talking about the value proposition. Capitalism would suggest a higher price point I'd imagine.

- knodi123 12y agoThat's obviously the most useful solution for us. Don't know if that's the best solution for microsoft. I'm surprised there weren't a bunch of logos and catch phrases like "Only on windows" or "powered by Microsoft!" They said they'll offer it as a windows app, and I imagine it's for very corporate reasons.
- Encosia 12y agoHistorically, Microsoft Research has been very disconnected from Microsoft corporate and don't position/frame their work in terms of a profit motive. Their work sometimes influences or filters its way into Microsoft products, but I've never seen them do anything like what you're suggesting.
- rplnt 12y agoSomeone above mentioned the processing took weeks. So.. I'm not sure that would work.
- sp332 12y agoWell, the first version took weeks. I'm sure it will only get faster.
