Abstract

SEATTLE-- Microsoft is building a star-studded research department in the mold of such famous corporate research laboratories as IBM, Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, and Bell Laboratories. It is a $200-million-a-year bet that research in esoteric areas of physics and mathematics will yield breakthroughs in personal computing, the ultimate goal of which is a computer (or operating system) that will be as easy to interact with as a human--just by talking.
