If you want to know what Microsoft is considering investing in and bring to market, follow the stories here and in the Wall Street Journal this week. Gates is famous for going off a couple of times a year for a week to a Washington lake and ruminating on white papers and proposals from inside Microsoft. What comes out of these cathartic sessions is not nearly as public as this 2005 episode.
Something amiss at Microsoft? I doubt it. For reasons beyond me, Microsft PR decided to take this opportunity to spotlight Bill and the Microsoft R&D process.
Bottom Line: Where Microsoft goes, at least part of the IT industry will follow.
