Variable in Microsoft at 72

Technology is changing almost every time new technologies;

Microsoft is changing, evolving technology from Microsoft Research incubator, expand the Microsoft product line. The story of the researcher, feel the pace of change to Microsoft.

Music from the Internet weekly: Wu Jia

"Microsoft, the only constant is change itself".

Bill · Gates of this sentence had been deemed to Microsoft's lack of enterprise culture of "irrefutable evidence". However, Microsoft Research Asia technology innovation Center Project Director Mr Johnson did not think so, "Microsoft is not without corporate culture, but its corporate culture as the company's Center of gravity changes" of the migration. Every day, and Microsoft technologies and products dealing with Mr. Johnson for Microsoft's changes, of course, have a voice.

And most people's experience, Mr. Johnson's life experience to be rich, with parents who, 1977 in college entrance examination, "catching up"-like study abroad, entrepreneurial company of high-spirited, then to Microsoft Research Asia is engaged in technology transfer, "I and Microsoft seems youyuanfen, it always makes me feel excited," he said, on the table and hands side up open, could see that he is very satisfied with the present job.

Mr. Johnson is talkative, and willing to share his stories and experiences from his body, you may be aware of Microsoft and Microsoft technology-72.

Running copper pea

Born in intellectual family, his grandfather in the United States, such conditions on the moment sufficient for ordinary people envy.

But the same conditions in the 1960s, the situation may be the opposite. Childhood Tin Johnson was not lucky, when other children in the parents ' arms sahuan infants, young he will have to go with parents who went through the storm. Difficult childhood gave him not as copper pea down's character, his combative than anyone eager to succeed.

For Mr Johnson, the University is a free world, truly touch to the library arranges dispenses books of Flash, led him to the thirst of knowledge over the years, "just when I was in College, can't wait 24 hours a day are learning, the chance is too hard."

University teach field Johnson of the first lesson is the value the opportunity. Therefore, "catch up" into a field of Johnson on the life, not to be outdone by the aptly describes his must be enclosed in the shortest possible time, reducing the gap with others.

Dr. after graduation, Mr. Johnson successfully joined Bell Laboratories, and most of the super enterprises, individuals can be very difficult for these companies to freely, he even difficult to recognize their value.

After several various, Mr Johnson found bSQUARE.

And large companies, small company, every person of influence will be magnified.

Flow of knowledge and technology, you have to pour in the shortest possible time to the technology applied to the product, or put the programme into practice. "As long as we do, there will be a benefit," "work in a very strong sense of harvest, or feel his own importance." In the field of Johnson joined, bSQUARE is one of only a dozen or so individual small company, "but it was a city on the NASDAQ, we succeeded".

Microsoft Research Asia innovation Engineering Center Project Director Mr Johnson, Ph.d.

However, God always joke with people, often hidden behind the top of a cliff, a jerky might be hacked.

2002 Internet bubble caused by bSQUARE, Mr Johnson "rushed" back home. In a downturn economy environment, he even considered entrepreneurship, the original company and then copy it again, but it would be extremely difficult to find venture capital. So, Mr Johnson thought of Microsoft.

In Seattle, not a business can be like Microsoft have such strength, whether financial or technical, for the purposes of the candidates are impeccable.

"But I have my concerns, in large companies like Microsoft, I'm afraid they won't like it did in a small company, I feel a bit sad."

But since chose Microsoft, opportunity to see more, understand the structure of the company, Mr. Johnson said to himself.

He participated in three different sectors of the interview, Microsoft research is one of them, the work content is helping Microsoft Research Asia research product transformation, that is to say "change" the technology to truly benefit mankind new applications. "I found that Microsoft research jobs seems to almost" and return to graduate school, Johnson said, laughing, "so many new technologies in sight, it seems to start in life."

Another way to see Microsoft

Among the many basic research results, Microsoft has not what you know about Microsoft.

Was in the "Windows" into more and more new play, "Microsoft Research" are gradually break the computer's "border" to more full of attitude occur in public. "Research is very special, it can affect any one sector of Microsoft's work," Mr. Johnson says. And technology transfer work, is the latest technology in research and product Department of adhesive.

The technology and development together is the fine balance.

Mr. Johnson's team needs at the right time to Institute inside the best technology recommended for development sector, thereby and development departments with complete technology from research to product transfer. In Microsoft research project manager, Mr Johnson half her time at the coordination of technology from China to the transformation of Microsoft products, no one more aware of the significance of Microsoft for Microsoft. Two years later, Mr. Johnson formally joined Microsoft Research Institute set up in China, as the technology innovation Center Project Director.

No one can deny the value of Microsoft on the world, but it seems that no one could outline out Microsoft's unique culture.

"Enterprise culture will eventually be as staff thought changes." Employs 9 million employees of Microsoft, each sector are relatively independent, different departments of the dominant culture.

"No one can predict the future, the Institute of culture is to inspire every researcher's full potential, thereby creating the future creation has changed.

"Windows MovieMaker" let Microsoft Research Asia real Makena.

From its video clips, matching technology automatically (Auto Movie) or even become a Microsoft WindowsXP advertising focus. Microsoft to users such information was passed: Windows XP AutoMovie feature from the original video recording in the automatic selection of important and representative pieces and fragments conditioned into smooth, and video content with user specified in the accompaniment of music. "You just need to tell the computer what you want. " Transformation through technology, Microsoft Research Asia 's" genius "ideas, more and more into the lives of ordinary people.

Now, you can more free video chat with other people.

Cool, LiveCamera through MSN, computer decoration as your actions produce 2.5 dimension to follow — 45 °, decoration will follow your movements and move together, to know the camera lens is only a 2-dimensional. Microsoft Research Asia video looking face, video tracking technology is Mr Johnson's team over to the MSN special camera. "We found Microsoft hardware just have projects and Research Institute of technologies that fit, and take technical introduction and redefine, and finally create a new application."

Technology development so fast that new product c

ycle for quickly let technology play a role in the field for too long the Johnson. "Watching so many good technologies, I thought how can we better let them play effect", so the Institute's Web site has become a VIP Member of the new technology. "Microsoft's couplet, the British Library Engkoo technology crossed the product direct transition to the application, access to the user, the user's feedback gave researchers study on new ideas for improvement, the DDR (DeploymentDrive Research practice-oriented research) mode, increased technology transfer dimension".

When an Enterprise Research Institute of the development of adequate size, it began to pay attention to the products technology quality instead of quantity.

Microsoft Research Asia technology is in a variety of ways to change the human way of life, like magic, like "turn into" a growing number of new applications.

What ' s next?

Mr Johnson sometimes tempted to think, but the technology is always changing, no one. The future is full of fantasy, perhaps through technology transfer, Research Institute in today's visionary is tomorrow's life.
