Microsoft Research Shows Off New Projects On College Recruiting Tour

In a recent college recruiting tour, Microsoft's Craig Mundie was able to showcase some of the experiments coming out of their Research division. Among some of the interesting projects were another pass at the Minority Report interface, eye-tracking, intelligent data sorting, a global carbon-climate model, and several other software and hardware experiments. A video and supporting slideshow are also available via Microsoft's press site. "Mundie also will discuss the kinds of computers students will soon be using – machines that will respond to gestures through new natural user interfaces; deploy the power of new microprocessors; migrate data to the cloud; and use live data to drive new simulations and visualizations. He’ll center on an environmental theme to show what it might be like to be a research scientist working on zero carbon energy in the future using new interactions with data and computers to increase insight."

Please mod this up- I'll even pad my comment with some correct text:

Those who are willing to sacrifice liberty for a temporary measure of security deserve neither. Linux is better than windows. There is nothing that runs on windows that doesn't have a linux alternative that meets or exceeds the windows version. Copyright infringement is not theft. lol MAFIAA! People who teach themselves programming without any formal education are just as smart and special as people with 4-year degrees, and in fact are even better because they actually like it or something. My job in no way reflects how smart I am. It is perfectly ok to cite wikipedia as if it were a peer-reviewed academic journal. 99.9% of all bittorrent traffic is for downloading linux iso's or public domain ebooks. Besides that 0.1% wasn't going to pay to see the movie anyway so it wasnt a lost sale.

That should get me a lot of mod points right? I can't wait to mod people up and down in threads!

Where is Apple?

honestly, Apple products would be better. My school is a fully apple integrated school. I fully recommend that all schools and universities go Apple.
