…if nothing is done to encourage these inventors, their dreams may remain just that – pipe dreams.
Creative endeavors need encouragement, investment, and (often) time. In the corporate environment, it’s easy to loath our executive counterparts instead of making an honest effort to win their buy-in because, while we know they need us, we often forget that we need them.
Your ideas aren’t going to get the serious attention and investment that lead to meaningful encouragement just because you’re talented. You have the advantage of already working for your employer – start making opportunities for your work to solve their problems.

We’re looking forward to more opportunities to work with Surface and Silverlight.
