Microsoft Research Techfest keynote webcast today

Look at http://research.microsoft.com/  today at 9:00am (PST) to see Rick Rashid (head of Microsoft Research) kicking off our annual Techfest event.  This is that time of year when MSR pulls together their coolest new demos and shows them off to (1) the world, through webcasts like this one, as well as press events, and (2) the various Microsoft product groups including mine, to stimulate us with ideas for exciting new products and features.

I'm planning to spend most of my Thursday at TechFest, but today's keynote will give you a good idea of what to expect.
