The funny thing is we were just having a discussion at work trying to figure out where Microsoft's $9.5 billion R&D budget goes (that's per year). I wonder how much of it was spent on this last year?

I believe that R&D budget also counts for the salaries of all the MS developers who are working stuff like Office and Windows.
