There are several examples. F# came from Microsoft Research and has also fed into C#. Also, Haskell.

Note that it does research and not R&D. You aren't going to get products from research but rather technology advancements that then get incorporated. That happens a lot, and they obviously publish a lot.

Fwiw, Haskell is not from Microsoft Research.

The Haskell 1.0 specification was published before Microsoft Research existed at all.

(I worked briefly on a Haskell compiler in those days.)
