I wonder how these articles get written, do they get to see the results or do they simply trust whatever they say at Microsoft?

In my experience stuff like this is often vastly overestimated but if it really can do what it says it's great but I would like to see some examples.

The article is about a paper that is published in Nature. Nature will frequently do this (publish a paper and then also have their editorial staff write a more accessible piece about the paper.)

Actually, the paper isn't in press at Nature - it's only published on arXiv. It seems a little bit unusual that Nature would publish this sort of news article for a work that hasn't been peer-reviewed.
