10.10.2007Microsoft 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.

06.03.2009Interview with Don Lindsay, Microsoft Live Labs
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
this blog knows just how excited I am about Photosynth and Seadragon. I got in touch with Don Lindsay, director for design at Microsoft Live Labs to
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
the next version of Windows.
