Microsoft's ability to perennial entrenched in the forefront of software companies in the world, Centros has many excellent researchers and engineers.

Today's Microsoft Research Asia will play the role of intellectual stronghold, efficient research teams and effective research system is Microsoft's next development laid the Foundation for success.

In the Microsoft World 8 000 employees, is responsible for basic research fellows only 1% in volume.

They determine the global market value of the first it company leader in sustainability. While many facts indicate that the Microsoft Research Asia is becoming Microsoft's overseas research and development of the next tap.

Liu Paul: the most important is the profit of the enterprise, Microsoft Research Asia is engaged and product-independent academic research, which will provide the benefits of Microsoft?

Hong Xiao: Research Institute is a unique research units.

It belongs to Microsoft, Microsoft as the world's largest software company, there are a variety of software, we want our products to get better, so we have much to the application. But at the same time, for basic science research, we have spared no effort. This is the Microsoft Research Asia is different from other companies of the Institute.

In China, Microsoft also and many domestic universities and national research institutions to cooperate.

Extensive cooperation has also contributed to our research team and the whole IT industry chain progress together. Such cooperation is also ensured with our interface partners Foundation studies improve together. This last is not just a company's success is the success of the whole industry chain. IT industry it is bigger, the impact of increasing from Office software to the Internet, from enterprise users to a personal user, from mainframe to PC, then to mobile phones and other handheld devices, IT rolled forward in the history of development, we make the purpose of the study was developed over a dozen years later, the technology to promote the development of the IT industry.

Liu Paul: Microsoft also has an Engineering College, it and the focus of the Research Institute on what's the difference?

Hong Xiao: Microsoft's entire company basically has three divisions, one for sales, marketing, like Vista, Office2007 such product; then there is the hospital such as Engineering Development Department, the focus on the development of Vista, Office and other products for the next version, or tomorrow's products.

Institute is Microsoft's third sector, engaged in basic research, and is committed to the most advanced technical transformation into tomorrow's products even acquired products.

At present, together with the Asia Research Institute, Cambridge Research Institute, Silicon Valley Institute, Microsoft researcher of a total of approximately 800 people, today Microsoft 8 000 organizations inside us is probably the size of 1%.

Therefore, we are also very special with a team, it can be said that the company's future is in our hands.

Liu Paul: I noticed that Microsoft Search research and development team is also working on a product, this is not the principle conflict and Institute?

The maximum flood xiaowen: because search technology or Internet service with traditional software products differ.

For example, Vista, Office and other products that need to develop two or three years. During this period we are concentrating on their next product technologies, and so they do after we put our research results to them. This way the traditional software development is very good, but in the Internet services the inside does not work, the latter need today to see user feedback, the shortest amount of time to change the product that lets users do not indicate years, should be the next month or next week, or even tomorrow it can be used to better Internet services.>

In this case, Microsoft think that the search product and technology research and Development Institute of all in one, we can in the shortest time the outcome of the researchers on the inside of this product for users to enjoy.

So search research center was established with only 100 people, we not only responsible for the Chinese market development of search, but also on global many search technology, the future will continue to increase the intensity of research and development.
