Microsoft Researchrecently celebrated its first 25 years of delving into the underlying concepts that have driven the massive advances in technology we’re enjoying today. At the organization’s recentFaculty Summit, a number of tech luminaries got together to see what the next 25 years might hold.

If you weren’t able to attend, then theMicrosoft Research blogwas kind enough to post a video of the event covering some of the most interesting bits. From the blog post’s description:

Ata Microsoft gathering of top academic and research scientistsin Redmond, Washington, last week, leading thinkers including Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates reflected on what computer scientists have accomplished in the last quarter century, and on what they expect to see in the next quarter century.

The annual Faculty Summit coincided with the 25th anniversary of Microsoft Research, which currently has about1,000 research scientists and engineers in labs throughout the world, working on their own and in collaboration with academic partners.

Watch the video yourself (it’s only nine minutes long) to see some of what Microsoft Research is considering as they prepare to help us accomplish more with our technology over the next quarter century. Let us know in the comments what you hope to see from Microsoft.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
