These excerpts taken from the WDC 10-K filed Aug 20, 2008. Research
and Development
We devote substantial resources to development of new products
and improvement of existing products. We focus our engineering
efforts on coordinating our product design and manufacturing
processes to bring our products to market in a cost-effective
and timely manner. Research and development expenses totaled
$464 million (excluding $49 million of in-process
research and development acquired in the acquisition of Komag),
$306 million and $297 million in 2008, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
For an additional discussion of risks related to our development
of new products, see Item 1A of this Annual Report on
Form 10-K.
