Well, I just meant that 'is part' is different than 'is'. And that I think the freedom that enjoy MSR is not exactly related to the creation of future consumer software.

It is generally accepted to make a difference between, for instance, the marketing communication and the work quality accomplished by the engineers. I think it is as important to make the distinction between Microsoft and its Reserach part.

Where do you think the funding for MSR comes from? Who do you think decides to allocate that funding?
