This is awesome news. Microsoft Research already has a great set of theorists in their New England lab, but clearly they were missing resident sociologists/economists. They can't have hoped for a richer haul than what they just landed here, that too in one shot.

Also this just proves further (in case anyone doubted) that Microsoft is in the game for the long haul.
