Whether you like Microsoft or not, the Redmond giant does have one thing going for it: the company's research division. Working together with several universities and other institutions, Microsoft Research works on the soft and hardware of the future, ranging from research operating systems to insanely cool things like what Microsoft's chief research and strategy officer Craig Mundie showed off during the Microsoft College Tour '09 (more videos).

The great thing about microsoft research is that they are well removed from the rest of the company. Researchers seem to have more or less free reign to do their thing, so a lot of what comes out of there is wildly impractical, pure research, blue sky stuff that certainly won't end up making microsoft any money anytime soon. That's great to see from a company research division.
