I am a Macintosh user. I now work for Microsoft. I am a former employee of a university. And I support charging for research. </p> <p>I'm not suggesting that all research should be conducted under the guises of selling PowerPoint slides and reports for $500. There is a lot of interesting commercial research like the <a href="http://www.adaptivepath.com/ideas/reports/">Adaptive Path's reports</a> or <a href="http://www.nngroup.com/reports/">NN/g reports</a>. There is a lot of research like the work at <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/">MSR</a> that costs more than $500.</p> Joe,
