There might be the perception out there that Microsoft is a digital fortress that houses dimly lit offices and cubbyholes where zombie employees zone out coding all day while drinking mass quantities of free soda. Nothing could be further from the truth! Well okay we do drink free soda, but we’ve also developed some pretty interesting and aesthetically pleasing work environments that support the creativity of ‘Softies as they work on innovative and technologically diverse products.
One way to experience these spaces and places is by taking this campus tour with our friend Steve Clayton over at Next at Microsoft. He just completed a series of tours showing off some of our more unique work areas on our Redmond Campus.
After taking a revealing look at the seldom shown Microsoft Home , he pulls back the covers on his own unique work space before taking us over to the Microsoft Model Shop. This is arguably one of the coolest places on our campus where they produce prototype hardware for products such as the Arc Mouse.

Whether utilizing Azure to ease the devastation caused by floods or collaborating across international borders to make music with Windows Live, people are doing amazing things with Microsoft technology.
Launched in February 2011, Microsoft Next is a competition for our global employees to submit 3-minute videos showing how Microsoft people and technology are helping individuals and communities around the world.
Today, we have the honor of announcing the Top 30 winners of Microsoft Next submissions. See the amazing videos and an introduction from Jean-Philippe Courtois, President of Microsoft International, here.
