 Another article on this topic is at:

 This article points out the long line of breakthroughs made by IBM in the
 area of nanotechnology (just one of many areas). Can Micro$oft claim
 anything remotely like this?

Your better comparison would be Intel, AMD and Sun (chip research/design
companies).

IBM's Computing Breakthrough Promises Chips the Size of Dust
By Thomas Claburn

IBM's new techniques may well lead to the use of atoms for digital
storage,
which could store the entire contents of YouTube--about 1,000 trillion
bits
of data.

I don't understand why would you even talk about Microsoft in a hardware 
manufacturer context.  Seems a little gratuitous.
