16.12.2008Microsofts Ozzie to head another new Microsoft lab
You may have heard of
Microsoft’s Live Labs,
Office Labs,
adCenter Labs. Get ready to add one more
Microsoft incubator that is designed to speed up the delivery of Microsoft-created innovations to market: Startup Labs.
Startup
Labs falls under Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie’s organization. Like the other aforementioned Microsoft Labs, Startup Labs will incorporate
multiple product-development projects. Unlike Microsoft’s other incubators, some of the Startup Labs projects will be in early prototype stage,
while others will be in beta and beyond. As with Microsoft’s other labs, the focus is on building a commercial product, rather than on research
for research’s sake.

05.09.2008Microsoft Live Labs releases Volta Web toolkit
Microsoft's
Live Labs, a standalone product research group, released on Wednesday
Volta, a development tool designed to make it easier to partition an application's
component pieces across a network.
The problem that Microsoft researchers are trying to address is the difficulty of deciding
which part of the application runs under which tier--either the client or server.
Typically, developers need to write code to
handle the communication between those tiers. And they need to decide during development on how to best architect their applications for optimal
performance.

If you think of all the innovative, cool and realistic technologies Microsoft has shown to the public in the past year or two, Photosynth would easily
top that list. That’s pretty amazing for a research group that’s only been existent in Microsoft for just two years. Anyone who follows

find out a little about the history and what is going on behind the scenes. Don also shares a little about his interesting past and contributions to

Microsoft Live Labs has unveiled Listas, a tool for the creation, management and sharing of lists, notes, favourites, and similar services. It allows
adding, editing and sharing lists with others for reading or wiki-style editing, as well as the discovery of the public lists of other users. The
Listas Community Section gives members (Live ID required) a number of highlights of the most popular and random items from around the community of
public lists such as the most used tags, the hottest lists, and prolific contributors. Adding other people’s lists (or any RSS feed) to your
own Listas is also possible. With the Listas Toolbar for Internet Explorer, it is possible to create lists from anything found on a web page: search
results, wish lists, videos and so on.
