I have never seen an automotive technology with that fast an adoption rate.

The rate at which this technology has been adopted is remarkable, the fastest I have ever seen in the motor sector, faster even than the airbag, automatic transmission or electric windows. From the consumer standpoint, it's wonderful, because you get flexibility and you don't have to pay for it.

With the release into the commercial market with Ingram, we've had a massive adoption rate of our technology.

During the past five years, fingerprint sensor technology was very much a niche technology; there wasn't much adoption (in the market).

Microsoft is partnering with these NGOs to drive further adoption of technology that can speed information when it is most critical. We at Microsoft believe it is important to help improve humanitarian efforts through financial donations, technical resources and the volunteer efforts of our employees worldwide. This grant is directed at improving collaboration among agencies, which is one of the most vital issues our NGO partners are trying to solve.

In general, a lot of the predicted adoption of fancier, so-called rich media ads just hasn't happened. There are still bandwidth constraints, and some browsers can't handle the Java animations.
