Special Report: Reading the Microsoft Research Tea Leaves



From Microsoft Watch: MSR Hot Spots


  • You've heard of C#, J#, and maybe even X# — all programming languages that Microsoft has developed/is developing. But what about F#?

  • Why is Microsoft poring over Usenet message threads? There are lessons to be learned there, says cybercommunity expert Marc Smith. Read about Smith's pet project, Netscan.

  • MSR is dabbling in autoblogging. Will it beat Shirley Maclaine to the punch in commercializing Auras? Read on.

  • MSR thinks the unified inbox is more than just a pipedream. With The Scope, it's out to show how it can be done.

  • Check out our Q&A with Lili Cheng on "Sapphire" and other search/storage/retrieval technologies under investigation at MSR.

  • What if you could charge spammers a fee per message? That's the premise of Microsoft Research's Penny Black project.






    More MSR Goodies From the ZD Archives

  • More on "Stuff I've Seen," Microsoft's latest social interface prototype from Microsoft Research. Interestingly, DARPA seems to have similar designs on a UI, in the form of LifeLog.


  • Check out "Inside Microsoft's R&D," Extremetech's report from MSR's West Coast Road Show earlier this spring.

  • See PCMag.com's take on the MSR Road Show for more details.

  • Microsoft's Programmer Productivity Research Center has been looking for the secrets to streamlining code testing and debugging. eWeek has the dish.

    Jeff Reinhardt :

    I cannot refresh my screen becasue there is not a refresh buttom in the toolbar. When the connection goes dead I now must go back to my favorites and re-establish the connection.
    Will the refresh button in the toolbar be added in the next update to IE7?

    Thank you
